Incidence & Airspeed

Calculate incidence and airspeed

  • Incidence & Airspeed block

Libraries:
Aerospace Blockset / Flight Parameters

Description

The Incidence & Airspeed block supports the 3DoF equations of motion model by calculating the angle between the velocity vector and the body, and also the total airspeed from the velocity components in the body-fixed coordinate frame.

α=atan(wu)V=u2+w2

Ports

Input

expand all

Velocity of the body, specified as a two-element vector, resolved into the body-fixed coordinate frame.

Output

expand all

Incidence angle, returned as a scalar, in radians.

Data Types: double

Airspeed of the body, returned as a scalar.

Data Types: double
