% Computes drag coefficient increment due to the undercarriage. Type DragUndercarriage for a demo. Since version 5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: deltaCD = DragUndercarriage( m, s, f ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ m (1,1) Mass (m) s (1,1) Reference area (m^2) f (1,1) If entered the flaps are down ------- Outputs ------- deltaCD (1,1) Change in drag coefficient -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: Mair, W. A. and D. L. Birdsall, "Aircraft Performance," Cambridge, p. 124. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
