aircraftModelType

The aircraftModelType contains the geometric aircraft model and associated data.

Elements specifying the geometry of the aircraft are <fuselages>, <wings>, <engines> (referenced via @uID), <enginePylons>, <landingGear>, <systems> (to some extend) and <genericGeometryComponents>.

Other elements are dedicated to additional data associated to this aircraft model. Brief and concise analysis results are stored in the <global> node. The <analysis> node contains extensive results from multidisciplinary analysis modules.

In the current CPACS version requirements only refer to the aircraft performance and are therefore specified in the <performanceRequirements> node.
