)
static

In the "linear tangent steering" problem, we control the direction to apply a constant thrust to a point mass to move the mass a given vertical distance and maximize its final horizontal speed.

This function defines internal classes: a DirectionActuator, and a LinearTangentFinalSpeed. This function is intended for use in testing. This problem has an analytical solution, and is described in Section 2.4 of Bryson and Ho [1]. Bryson, A. E., Ho, Y.‐C., Applied Optimal Control, Optimization, Estimation, and Control. New York‐London‐Sydney‐Toronto. John Wiley & Sons. 1975.
