The following scenario puts an aerial tanker in orbit over KSFO
|
|
|
|
|
at 3000 ft AGL. The tanker uses the 737 model, but you can use any
|
|
|
|
|
model (a KC-135 model can be found at:
|
|
|
|
|
http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/hangar/hangar.html).
|
|
|
|
|
The center of the orbit is actually west of KSFO, and the eastern
|
|
|
|
|
edge of the orbit passes over the airport. Note that AI aircraft
|
|
|
|
|
do not react to wind, therefore your speed and bank angle will have
|
|
|
|
|
to vary along the orbit since your "user" aircraft *does* react to
|
|
|
|
|
the wind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I recommend using the T-38 as your airplane for four reasons: (1) it
|
|
|
|
|
has a radar screen which may be needed to find the tanker; (2) it
|
|
|
|
|
has the speed to catch the tanker; (3) it uses a JSBSim FDM, which
|
|
|
|
|
means it can onload fuel; (4) it has a green light added to the
|
|
|
|
|
instrument panel, between the fuel gauges, which comes on when you
|
|
|
|
|
are in the refueling envelope.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Right now the air refueling envelope is very loose, and I plan on
|
|
|
|
|
tightening it up in the future. Currently no aerodynamic effects
|
|
|
|
|
of refueling are modeled (i.e downwash, bow wave, vortices).
