Remarks
LandingGearPerformanceMap type, containing a delta perfomance map with aerodynamic data for a landing gear. This means that the coefficients are deltas to be added to the corresponding coefficients of the base performance map. Array order is (from innermost to outermost loop): relativeDeflection min->max, then angleOfAttack, then angleOfSideslip, then altitude, then machNumber. AngleOfAttack, angleOfSideslip, altitude and machNumber are taken from the basic performance map one level above. For the definition of the coefficients, please refer to the description of the base performance mapLandingGearPerformanceMap type, containing a delta perfomance map with aerodynamic data for a landing gear. This means that the coefficients are deltas to be added to the corresponding coefficients of the base performance map for a specific landing gear deflection. Array order is (from innermost to outermost loop): relativeDeflection min->max, then angleOfAttack, then angleOfSideslip, then altitude, then machNumber. AngleOfAttack, angleOfSideslip, altitude and machNumber are taken from the base performance map one level above.
