Remarks
AeroPerformanceMap type, containing a perfomance map with aerodynamic data of the complete aircraft in the form of nondimensionalized coefficients. The force coefficients (c?) are nondimensionalized by dynamic pressure and reference area, the moment coefficients (cm?) by dynamic pressure, reference area and reference length. All coefficients in the aeroPerformanceMap relate to the aerodynamic coordinate system which is reached from the CPACS coordinate system by the transformations of angle of attack and angle of yaw. See documentation of the CPACS-Element for further information.
