Enhancement in mission segments #404

Closed christophe-david closed 2 years ago

christophe-david commented 2 years ago

Some changes would be needed in mission segments to prepare future evolutions, e.g. a takeoff segment:

FlightSegment._get_gamma_and_acceleration() should take a FlightPoint as input, to allow the calculation to depend on more parameters than mass, drag and thrust
dISA should be settable
The definition of a starting point (especially altitude) should be possible
It could be useful to have the possibility of defining in Python a segment that is a combination of other segments.

Additionnally it appears that the current way of working consider that TakeOff Weight is attained at the end of the takeoff phase, which is not very relevant. It should be considered that TOW is attained at the start of takeoff phase.
