Most of OpenConcept's atmospheric models use the 1976 Standard Atmosphere.
For more details, see the source documentation for the ``ComputeAtmosphericProperties`` component.

Models for specific atmospheric properties are also available on their own:

    - ``TrueAirspeedComp``
    - ``EquivalentAirpseedComp``
    - ``TemperatureComp``
    - ``SpeedOfSoundComp``
    - ``PressureComp``
    - ``MachNumberComp``
    - ``DynamicPressureComp``
    - ``DensityComp``
