turnRateAirspeedEnvelope
Syntax
Description
ax = turnRateAirspeedEnvelope(CLmax,S,mass,nMax,vMax)ax, and plots the turn rate versus flight
speed given maximum lift coefficient, maximum load factor, maximum airspeed, maximum
altitude, and maximum airspeed.
ax = turnRateAirspeedEnvelope(___,Name=Value)myAx instead of the
current axes.
turnRateAirspeedEnvelope(
plots a boundary line on the specified axes myAx,___)myAx instead of the current
axes. Create myAx with any axes function, such as gca or axes.

Create three flight envelopes and plot them on tiled axes ax1, ax2, and ax3 using the tiledlayout and nexttile functions.
Create a figure specifying the left, bottom, width, and height positions.
figure('Units','inches','Position',[1,1,12,12]);
Create a 3-row, 1-column, loosely tiled chart layout using tiledlayout.
tiledlayout(3,1);
Set the first tile to ax1 using nexttile, and then create and plot the altitude versus airspeed flight envelope using the altitudeSpeedEnvelope function.
ax1 = nexttile; altitudeSpeedEnvelope(ax1,1.8,8000,64.3,16.2,1000,MachLines=[0.05,0.1,0.15]);
Set the second tile to ax2 using nexttile and then create and plot the airspeed versus load factor flight envelope using velocityLoadFactorEnvelope.
ax2 = nexttile;
velocityLoadFactorEnvelope(ax2,0,1000,16.2,1.5,64.3,[-1.2,1.8],[-1.5,4],XAxis="EAS");Set the third tile to ax3 using the nexttile function, and then create and plot the turn rate versus flight speed flight envelope using the turnRateAirspeedEnvelope function.
ax3 = nexttile; turnRateAirspeedEnvelope(ax3,1.5,16.2,1000,3.8,84);
