fastga.models.geometry.geom_components.fuselage.components.compute_fuselage_wet_area module

Estimation of fuselage wet area.

class fastga.models.geometry.geom_components.fuselage.components.compute_fuselage_wet_area.ComputeFuselageWetArea(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: openmdao.core.explicitcomponent.ExplicitComponent

Fuselage wet area estimation, based on a simple geometric description of the fuselage one cone at the front a cylinder in the middle and a cone at the back.

Store some bound methods so we can detect runtime overrides.

setup()[source]

Declare inputs and outputs.

Available attributes:

name pathname comm options

compute(inputs, outputs, discrete_inputs=None, discrete_outputs=None)[source]

Compute outputs given inputs. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

Parameters

  • inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

  • outputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional output variables read via outputs[key].

  • discrete_inputs (dict or None) – If not None, dict containing discrete input values.

  • discrete_outputs (dict or None) – If not None, dict containing discrete output values.
