Basic trajectory methods #4

Open taylormcd opened 6 years ago

taylormcd commented 6 years ago

I think it would be a nice addition to this package to add some basic trajectory calculations, such as steady level flight, orbital flight, and some customized flight shapes.

Good idea. I wonder if it might be good to have a separate trajectory package. This package has application to aircraft, but is not limited thereto.
A trajectory package would likely allow for extension to more complex trajectory and path planning in the future.

True, that package might even be used in the future to complement a full 6-DOF simulation. As it is this could be a mini-project for an undergraduate, but I think if we were to think of some additional capabilities we might want in the future this could turn into a full undergraduate project.
