Calculate forces used by sixth-order point mass in coordinated flight
Equations of Motion/Point Mass
The 6th Order Point Mass Forces (Coordinated Flight) block calculates the applied forces for a single point mass or multiple point masses.
The applied forces [Fx Fy Fh]T are
in a system is defined by x-axis in the direction
of vehicle velocity relative to air, z-axis is
upwards and y-axis completes the right-handed frame
and are functions of lift
, drag
,
thrust
, weight
,
flight path angle
, angle of attack
,
and bank angle
.
| Input | Dimension Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
First | Contains the lift in units of force. | |
Second | Contains the drag in units of force. | |
Third | Contains the weight in units of force. | |
Fourth | Contains the thrust in units of force. | |
Fifth | Contains the flight path angle in radians. | |
Sixth | Contains the bank angle in radians. | |
Seventh | Contains the angle of attack in radians. |
| Output | Dimension Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
First | Contains the force in x-axis in units of force. | |
Second | Contains the force in y-axis in units of force. | |
Third | Contains the force in z-axis in units of force. |
The block assumes that there is fully coordinated flight, i.e., there is no side force (wind axes) and sideslip is always zero.
The flat Earth-fixed reference frame is considered inertial, an excellent approximation that allows the forces due to the Earth's motion relative to the "fixed stars" to be neglected.
