Description

Desired capability or behavior.

Add a phase builder for a on-ground refueling or recharging phase. This would probably be a super simple (explicit) phase with a assumed fixed rate of refueling and/or recharging. This would very useful for EVTOL/UAM aircraft that may have design constraints based on multiple sequential flights. Length of charge/time of charge could be part of the overall mission optimization (such as only recharging exactly enough to complete the next leg of the mission).

This functionality is currently present in NDARC, and is often used by the rotorcraft team, and would be applicable to fixed-wing aircraft too

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reviewing the existing phase-builder patterns and the NDARC refueling behavior referenced in the issue. Define how fixed refueling or recharging rates, charge duration, and the next mission leg should interact, then add coverage showing that the phase supports sequential-flight mission optimization.
