fastga.models.weight.cg.cg_components.a_airframe.a4_flight_control_cg module

Estimation of flight control center of gravity.

class fastga.models.weight.cg.cg_components.a_airframe.a4_flight_control_cg.ComputeFlightControlCG(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: openmdao.core.explicitcomponent.ExplicitComponent

Control surfaces center of gravity estimation.

Based on the position of the aerodynamic center of all lifting surfaces. Not taken at the exact position of the control surfaces as flight controls weight includes cockpit controls and pulleys/cables.

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.

compute_partials(inputs, partials, discrete_inputs=None)[source]

Compute sub-jacobian parts. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

Parameters

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

  • partials (Jacobian) – Sub-jac components written to partials[output_name, input_name]..

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