Thruster
A force applied to the body along an axis while a key is held: a rocket, a jet engine.
How to add
Select a body and in the Aerodynamics and thrust block choose Thruster (force along axis). Ready unit: Thruster booster.
Properties
- Force, N
- The thrust magnitude.
- ax, ay, az
- The thrust direction in the body frame.
- Activation key
- The key to hold for the thrust to work.
Tips
- In the ready unit thrust is on the space bar.
- The force is constant while the key is held, so the body mass affects acceleration.
