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.
