3-4.1 Engine Performance<br />

The engine performance can be calculated for a specified range of power, altitude, and speed.<br />

3-4.2 Airframe Aerodynamics<br />

The airframe aerodynamic loads can be calculated for a specified range of angle of attack, sideslip<br />

angle, and control angles. The aerodynamic analysis evaluates the component lift, drag, and moments<br />

given the velocity. The aircraft velocity is here v F AC = CFA (v 00) T ; interference velocity from the rotors<br />

is not considered. From the angle of attack α and sideslip angle β, the transformation from wind axes to<br />

airframe axes is C FA = YαZ−β (optionally C FA = Z−βYα can be used, for better behavior in sideward<br />

flight). The loads are summed in the airframe axes (with and without tail loads), and then the wind axis<br />

loads are:<br />

F A ⎛<br />

Y ⎠ = C<br />

−L<br />

AF F F<br />

M A =<br />

⎛<br />

⎝ Mx<br />

My<br />

Mz<br />

⎞<br />

⎠ = C AF M F<br />

The center of action for the total loads is the fuselage location zfuse. The ratio of the loads to dynamic<br />

pressure is required, so a nominal velocity v = 100 (ft/sec or m/sec) and sea-level standard density are<br />

used.
