Description
The Burn object is a base type that provides attitude, maneuver, scale factor, and burn component properties to the objects that derive from it. See the Maneuvering Guide for more information.
Users cannot create instances of this type of object. However, users can access instances of this object type that have been created indirectly, for example as children of other objects. Users can also access any static properties and methods on this object type.
