Performance Set

Description of the "performance set" asset.

This asset provides data on the aircraft performance for the trajectory simulation. It is required to enable the simulation and evaluation of a route mission.

Performance Set Dialog

You can create or modify performance sets in the corresponding dialog from the NOVA Asset Manager.

The following parameters are taken into account:

chevron-rightCruise speed [GS/EAS]hashtag

The speed at which an aircraft operates most efficiently during the main phase of flight.

chevron-rightMax speed [EAS]hashtag

The maximum speed an aircraft can safely reach under normal operational conditions.

chevron-rightRate of climbhashtag

The vertical speed at which an aircraft can ascend, typically measured in feet per minute (ft/min) or meters per second (m/s). It indicates how quickly an aircraft gains altitude and is vital for assessing the performance during takeoff and initial climb phases.

chevron-rightRate of descenthashtag

The vertical speed at which an aircraft descends, expressed in ft/min or m/s.

chevron-rightEndurancehashtag

The total amount of time a drone can remain airborne, determined by battery capacity and power consumption rate under specific conditions.

circle-info

EAS (Equivalent Airspeed): The aircraft's speed relative to the air, corrected for altitude and temperature. GS (Ground Speed): The aircraft's speed over the ground, affected by wind.

circle-info

The performance set is considered only in the evaluation of route missions. Local and multi-location missions ignore the performance set.
