Constant_Speed_Internal_Combustion_Engine

Methods for modeling and analyzing constant speed internal combustion engine propulsors.

This module provides functions for designing, analyzing, and simulating internal combustion engines that operate at a constant speed in aircraft propulsion systems. These methods are particularly useful for modeling generators and auxiliary power units where the engine operates at a fixed RPM regardless of the aircraft’s flight condition.

The module includes methods for computing engine performance, appending engine conditions to mission segments, and designing the engine-propeller combination for optimal performance.
