Member Function Documentation

bool FlightEnvelopeCalculator::estimateEnvelope	(	const double &	vStall,
		const double &	maxIAS,
		const double &	maxMach,
		const double &	serviceCeiling
	)

Estimate flight envelope.

The flight envelope is estimated based on the aircraft stall speed, maximum idicated airspeed, maximum Mach number and service ceiling.

Parameters:

	vStall	the aircraft's stalling speed [m/s]
	maxIAS	the aircraft's maximum indicated airspeed [m/s]
	maxMach	the aircraft's maximum Mach number
	serviceCeiling	the aircraft's service ceiling [m]

Returns:

true if mach and altitude vectors are equal size
