Path: Propulsion/Demos/Electric
% Generate the optimal electric propulsion system. Computes the optimal exhaust velocity for different thrusts. Note that the optimal exhaust velocity approaches 50 km/s asymptotically. Things to explore: 1. Change the structural ratio, x.sR 2. Change the specific power, x.pR 3. Change the efficiency, x.eff Since version 2014.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also OptimalVehicle, Plot2D -------------------------------------------------------------------------- % -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 2014 Princeton Satellite Systems, Inc.
