Yes, it's only a workaround. It now uses the result of the J3.

Probably we have to go this way. But it would be rather complicate (e.g.
the "elevator-control" of the ch47 is different from other helicopters).

That would be the easier way. Maybe it make sense to look, which results
the solver get for different airplanes.

Yes, you are right. But if you use the "old"
applyDragFactor(Math::pow(15.7/1000, 1/SOLVE_TWEAK));
applyLiftRatio(Math::pow(104, 1/SOLVE_TWEAK));
Yasim tells you
Solution results: Iterations: 0
Drag Coefficient: 15.700000
Lift Ratio: 104.000000
.

.
That is why I did not delete the pow calculation.
