Vertical takeoff and landing of drones #422

Closed ChengHuang-CH closed 1 year ago

ChengHuang-CH commented 2 years ago

Hi, I am looking for the function for UAV's vertical takeoff and landing. But after investigating the source code, from https://github.com/TUDelft-CNS-ATM/bluesky/blob/5eab3752386a6549583704caa8dbace7e1b31954/bluesky/traffic/performance/openap/phase.py#L71 and https://github.com/TUDelft-CNS-ATM/bluesky/blob/5eab3752386a6549583704caa8dbace7e1b31954/bluesky/traffic/performance/openap/perfoap.py#L251

it seems that the vertical takeoff and landing ability is not implemented, right? If it is not implemented, how can I get similar operations?

FYI, I would like to generate this flight profile .

Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!

Dear @ChengHuang-CH,

Sorry for not replying to this earlier. This functionality should already be implemented. If I for instance do the following:

CRE TEST M600 52 4 0 0 0
TEST ALT 100

I get a Matrice 600 drone that starts at altitude 0 with speed 0, and vertically climbs to 100 ft, where it then hovers at horizontal speed 0.
