aeroLimitsMapType

Permitted range of the angle of attack over altitude, Mach number and sideslip angle. The vectors <altitude>, <machNumber> and <angleOfSideslip> have equal length, and the entries with the same index form one point of the map. For each point, <operationLimit> gives the smallest and the largest permitted angle of attack. Angle of attack and sideslip angle are defined as in the aerodynamic coordinate system, see section 4.2 of cpacsType.

Since the angle of attack and the sideslip angle depend closely on each other, the limits of the angle of attack are given per sideslip angle. The limits of the sideslip angle follow from where the permitted range of the angle of attack closes, or, by agreement with the supplier of the data, from the smallest and largest value of <angleOfSideslip>.

The map contains no coefficients; those at the limits are interpolated from the <aeroPerformanceMap> of the same aerodynamic map. For the same reason, the limits should not merely repeat extrema of the coefficients, such as the angle of attack of maximum lift, which can be found there.
