Tube_Fuselage#

class Tube_Fuselage(*args, **kwarg)[source]#

Bases: Fuselage

A conventional cylindrical fuselage design commonly used in commercial and general aviation aircraft.

tag#

Unique identifier for the fuselage component, defaults to ‘tube_fuselage’

Type:: str

Notes

The tube fuselage is the most common configuration in modern aircraft design.

Major Assumptions

Cross-sections are primarily circular or near-circular
Smooth transitions between different diameter sections

Definitions

‘Tube Fuselage’: A fuselage design with predominantly circular cross-sections, typically consisting of a constant-diameter center section with tapered nose and tail sections

compute_moment_of_inertia(center_of_gravity)[source]#

Computes the moment of inertia tensor for the tube fuselage.

Parameters:: center_of_gravity (list) – Reference point coordinates [x, y, z] for moment calculation
Returns:: I – 3x3 moment of inertia tensor in kg*m^2
Return type:: ndarray
