|
Verticality
|
% of the LTWA that is vertical to the A/C (70%)
|
|
|
Minimum Drogue Altitude
|
clearance btwn the end of the LTWA and the surface
|
|
|
Entry Bank Angle
|
allows a slower entry into the orbit, reduces wire tension, held for 180 degrees of orbit
|
|
|
Orbit Parameters
|
bank angles and the airspeed required for orbit, vary depending on flaps, altitude, LTWA length, GW; bank angle and airspeed are designed to provide an adequate margin btwn orbit airspeed and stall speed.
|
|
|
Orbit Altitude
|
determined by the LTWA length and minimum drogue altitude, round to the nearest 1000ft.
