Functions

  Type Name Description
Public function float

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

 Angle of attack is the angle between the aerofoil and the airflow vector
Public function float Center of lift moves fore/aft based on current AngleOfAttack
Public function float

CalcDragCoefficient ( float InAngleOfAttack,
float InControlSurfaceAngle
)

 Returns drag coefficient for the current angle of attack of the aerofoil surface
Public function 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
Public function 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
Public function FVector

GetAxis ()

  
Public function FVector  
Public function 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.
Public function FVector  
Public function void

SetAerofoilId ( int Id
)

 Set a debug Id so we can identify an individual aerofoil
Public function void

SetControlSurface ( float CtrlSurfaceInput
)

  
Public function void

SetDensityOfMedium ( float InDensity
)
