Reference values used by aerodynamic tools for their computations. If this node is created automatically by the tool's input mapping ( Framework integration mode), the selected aircraft model's common reference length is used for <lengthCMX>, <lengthCMY> and <lengthCMZ>. If this node is created manually (for Toolwrapper input mode), the CPACS-Outputfile uses <lengthCMY> as common reference length.
This is the reference area, used to calculate all the aerodynamic coefficients.
This is the reference length, used to calculate all the rolling moment coefficients (C Mx ).
This is the reference length, used to calculate all the pitching moment coefficients (C My ).
This is the reference length, used to calculate all the yawing moment coefficients (C Mz ).
This is the reference point in (global coordinate system), used for all moment computations.
