Ampere, The property names starting with "aero/coefficient" are actually misleading. Historically, they really were coefficients. Now, however, the functions in the <aerodynamics> section of the config file define forces and moments. So, you have to de-non-dimensionalize them :-) > As for the (turbofan) engine, I would like to know how JSBsim calculate > thrusts at different altitude and airspeed based on the entries in the > engine > config file. > > Ampere The last question is a longer story, and I have to call it a day. Hopefully, one of the other guys can describe that. Dave Culp and others are the experts in that code.
