mach_slices#
- mach_slices(vehicle, mach, angle_of_attack=[0.0], number_slices=99)[source]#
This method calculates the volume equivalent area for a vehicle for sonic boom analysis. It will write a VSP then slice it up depending on the mach number and angle of attack
Assumptions: X_locs is the location where lift values are taken on the x-axis AE_x is the lift equivalent area
Source: N/A
Inputs: vehicle [vehicle] mach [-] angle_of_attack [radians] number_slices [int]
Outputs: X_locs [m] slice_areas [m^2]
Properties Used: N/A
