Functions

Public

Name Remarks Include Path Unreal Specifiers

float CalcAngleOfAttackDegrees ( const FVector& UpAxis,
const FVector& InAirflowVector
)

 Angle of attack is the angle between the aerofoil and the airflow vector AerofoilSystem.h  

float CalcCentreOfLift()

 Center of lift moves fore/aft based on current AngleOfAttack AerofoilSystem.h  

float CalcDragCoefficient ( float InAngleOfAttack,
float InControlSurfaceAngle
)

 Returns drag coefficient for the current angle of attack of the aerofoil surface AerofoilSystem.h  

float CalcDynamicPressure ( float VelocitySqr,
float InAltitude
)

 Dynamic air pressure = 0.5 * AirDensity * Vsqr This function reduces the dynamic pressure in a linear fashion with altitude between MinCeiling & MaxCeiling in order to limit the aircrafts altitude with a 'natural feel' without having a hard limit AerofoilSystem.h  

float CalcLiftCoefficient ( float InAngleOfAttack,
float InControlSurfaceAngle
)

 Returns lift coefficient for the current angle of attack of the aerofoil surface Cheating by making control surface part of entire aerofoil movement AerofoilSystem.h  

FVector GetAxis()

   AerofoilSystem.h  

FVector GetCenterOfLiftOffset()

   AerofoilSystem.h  

FVector GetForce ( FTransform& BodyTransform,
const FVector& v,
float Altitude,
float DeltaTime
)

 Returns the combined force of lift and drag at an aerofoil in world coordinates for direct application to the aircrafts rigid body. AerofoilSystem.h  

FVector GetOffset()

   AerofoilSystem.h  

void SetAerofoilId ( int Id
)

 Set a debug Id so we can identify an individual aerofoil AerofoilSystem.h  

void SetControlSurface ( float CtrlSurfaceInput
)

   AerofoilSystem.h  

void SetDensityOfMedium ( float InDensity
)

   AerofoilSystem.h
