fastoad.models.performances.mission.segments.hold module

Class for simulating hold segment.

class fastoad.models.performances.mission.segments.hold.HoldSegment(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: fastoad.models.performances.mission.segments.base.RegulatedThrustSegment, fastoad.models.performances.mission.segments.base.FixedDurationSegment

Class for computing hold flight segment.

Mach is considered constant, equal to Mach at starting point. Altitude is constant. Target is a specified time. The target definition indicates the time duration of the segment, independently of the initial time value.

Only keyword arguments are accepted.

Parameters

• target – the target flight point, defined for any relevant parameter

• propulsion – the propulsion model

• reference_area – the reference area for aerodynamic forces

• polar – the aerodynamic polar
