Atmospherics

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
