      Element altitude

Altitude

      Element analysisLevel[0, 1]

Modeling level of the methods used to compute the aerodynamic performance. The higher the analysisLevel, the higher the quality of the results. Possible use of analysisLevel: 0- 9 = Statistical models, 10-19 = Analytic models, 20-29 = Lifting line method, 30-39 = Panel method, 40-49 = Panel-BL-coupled method, 50-59 = Full potential method, 60-69 = Full potential-BL coupled method, 70-79 = CFD euler method, 80-89 = CFD euler-bl coupled method, 99-99 = CFD RANS method, >=100 = Experimental data.

      Element analysisTool[0, 1]

Name and version of the tool used to compute the aerodynamic performance

      Element angleOfAttack

Angle of attack

      Element angleOfSideslip

Sideslip angle

      Element atmosphericModel

Atmospheric model and temperature offset

      Element cfx[0, 1]

Force coefficient in x-direction of the CPACS coordinate system

      Element cfy[0, 1]

Force coefficient in y-direction of the CPACS coordinate system

      Element cfz[0, 1]

Force coefficient in z-direction of the CPACS coordinate system

      Element cmx[0, 1]

Moment coefficient around the x-axis of the CPACS coordinate system

      Element cmy[0, 1]

Moment coefficient around the y-axis of the CPACS coordinate system

      Element cmz[0, 1]

Moment coefficient around the z-axis of the CPACS coordinate system

      Element dampingDerivatives[0, 1]
