    Description

    The fixedwingMissionParser object parses the mission defined in a uavMission object and generates a flight trajectory as a fixedwingFlightTrajectory object.

    Creation

    Syntax

    parser = fixedwingMissionParser
    parser = fixedwingMissionParser(Name=Value)

    Description

    parser = fixedwingMissionParser creates a fixed-wing UAV mission parser parser.

    parser = fixedwingMissionParser(Name=Value) specifies properties using one or more name-value arguments.

    example

    Properties

    Transition radius for computing trajectory waypoints based on the mission definition, specified as a positive numeric scalar, in meters.

    Example: fixedwingMissionParser(mission,TransitionRadius=3)

    Takeoff pitch angle, specified as a positive numeric scalar, in degrees. This value specifies the angle between the flight path of the UAV and the horizontal plane during the takeoff action.

    Example: fixedwingMissionParser(mission,TakeoffPitch=8)

    Create a UAV mission by using the flight plan stored in a .plan file and show the mission.

    mission = uavMission(PlanFile="flight.plan");
show(mission);
axis equal

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel East (m), ylabel North (m) contains 10 objects of type line, text.

    Create parsers for a multirotor UAV and a fixed-wing UAV.

    mrmParser = multirotorMissionParser(TransitionRadius=2,TakeoffSpeed=2);
fwmParser = fixedwingMissionParser(TransitionRadius=15,TakeoffPitch=10);

    Generate one flight trajectory using each parser.

    mrmTraj = parse(mrmParser,mission);
fwmTraj = parse(fwmParser,mission);

    Visualize the waypoints, flight trajectory and body frames for each UAV.
