Development Roadmap

Known issues to be addressed include:
  • No distinction right now between calibrated, equivalent, indicated airspeeds (compressibility effects) in the standard atmosphere

  • Limited validation of the takeoff performance code (it is hard to find actual CLmax and drag polar data!)

Future ideas include:
  • Unifying the ODE integration math with NASA’s Dymos toolkit

  • Adding locations to weights to be able to include stability constraints and trim OpenAeroStruct aerodynamic models

  • Incorporate OpenVSP for visualizations of the configuration
