- lift_equivalent_area(config, analyses, conditions)[source]#
This method calculates the lift equivalent area for a vehicle for sonic boom analysis.
Assumptions: X_locs is the location where lift values are taken on the x-axis AE_x is the lift equivalent area CP is the coefficient of pressure at the flight conditions
Source: N/A
Inputs: config [vehicle] conditions
.freestream.dynamic_pressure [pascals] .freestream.mach_number [-] .aerodynamics.angles.alpha [radians]
analyses.aerodynamics.settings [needed for discretization] config.total_length [m]
Outputs: X_locs [m] AE_x [m^2] CP [pascals]
Properties Used: N/A
