      Element angleOfAttackMax

Maximum angle of attack defining the operation limit. Must be a vector of the same length as angleOfSideslip, machNumber and altitude. [deg]

      Element angleOfAttackMin

Remarks
Vehicle operation limit defined by sets of minimum and maximum angleOfSideslip and minimum and maximum angleOfAttack for a given altitude and Mach number. This might be, e.g., a safety margin to the angle of attack at maximum lift or the flight attitude a fighter aircraft is capable to fly in stalled conditions. The corresponding aerodynamic coefficients must be extracted from the aeroPerformanceMap.
