fastga.models.handling_qualities.tail_sizing.update_ht_area module

Estimation of horizontal tail area.

class fastga.models.handling_qualities.tail_sizing.update_ht_area.UpdateHTArea(**kwargs)

Bases: openmdao.core.group.Group

Computes needed ht area to:

• have enough rotational power during take-off phase.

• have enough rotational power during landing phase.

Set the solvers to nonlinear and linear block Gauss–Seidel by default.

initialize()

Perform any one-time initialization run at instantiation.

setup()

Build this group.

This method should be overidden by your Group’s method. The reason for using this method to add subsystem is to save memory and setup time when using your Group while running under MPI. This avoids the creation of systems that will not be used in the current process.

You may call ‘add_subsystem’ to add systems to this group. You may also issue connections, and set the linear and nonlinear solvers for this group level. You cannot safely change anything on children systems; use the ‘configure’ method instead.

class fastga.models.handling_qualities.tail_sizing.update_ht_area.HTPConstraints(**kwargs)

Bases: openmdao.core.explicitcomponent.ExplicitComponent

Store some bound methods so we can detect runtime overrides.
