class openconcept.geometry.wetted_area.CylinderSurfaceArea(**kwargs)

Bases: ExplicitComponent

Compute the surface area of a cylinder. This can be used to estimate the wetted area of a fuselage or engine nacelle.

Inputs:

• L (float) – Cylinder length (scalar, m)

• D (float) – Cylinder diameter (scalar, m)

Outputs:

A (float) – Cylinder surface area (scalar, sq m)
