Aerodynamics

This module provides methods for aerodynamic analysis and computation within the RCAIDE framework.

The Aerodynamics module contains several submodules implementing different approaches to aerodynamic analysis:

• Athena_Vortex_Lattice: Implementation of Drela’s AVL (Athena Vortex Lattice) method for

analyzing aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft configurations.

• Airfoil_Panel_Method: Panel method implementation for 2D airfoil analysis,

providing pressure distributions and aerodynamic coefficients.

• AERODAS: Implementation of the AERODAS (Aerodynamic Data Analysis System) model

for high angle of attack aerodynamics and stall prediction.

• Vortex_Lattice_Method: General vortex lattice method implementation for

analyzing lifting surfaces and complete aircraft configurations.

• Common: Shared utilities and functions used across different aerodynamic methods,

including coefficient transformations and atmospheric calculations.
