Aerodynamics

Compute aerodynamic forces and moments using aerodynamic coefficients, dynamic pressure, center of gravity, center of pressure

Calculate aerodynamic forces and moments for a flight dynamics model. You can supply aerodynamic coefficients in body, stability, or wind axes, or you can import aerodynamic coefficients from the U.S. Air Force Digital Data Compendium (DATCOM). You can also specify whether forces and moments are calculated in body or wind axes.
