I've been experimenting with spaceplanes powered with Microwave Thermal Receivers, and was having a lot of trouble with them spinning out. I thought it was an aerodynamics issue, until I spotted that …

I would like to ask, why can't the missiles in the MK2 bay be launched after the FAR is loaded? I installed a rotating rack in the MK2 bay and a missile on the rack. It can be launched normally before…

While working with the LiftDragPlugin I found several issues. I'd like to discuss them here before I start drafting a pull request.
### 1. Missing coefficients: cd_alpha0 and cm_alpha0
The plu…

As to title says Ive been working on a plane and would love to see some sort of a wing block, as i know aerodynamics is extremely hard to implement, maybe something like a wing block would just provid…

My ultimate goal is to use open FAST to calculate the aerodynamics, and then transfer its displacement, angular velocity and other data to the platform, and then use AQWA to calculate the hydrodynamic…

We'll see which one gets done faster: Sandia's or NREL's when Eagle is back.
Runs we will submit at Sandia:
(1) IEA 15 MW power curve (10 separate runs). Nate, Neil, Phil, Kevin.
(2) NREL 5 MW case.…

Background

Algebraic calculations for engine and aerodynamic designs are nice, but higher fidelity models are needed in the design process to propogate the Navier Stokes equations
Procedure

Unlike with Code Documentation, Systems documentation pertains to documenting how certain systems work. We should document as of the time of writing, how the various simulated features of YSFlight wor…

# Description of feature
When using a dense VLM mesh, `compute_partials` in some components (e.g., eval_mtx in aerodynamics) becomes a bottleneck for derivative computations. These partials can be …

Proposal: implementation of aerodynamic high-power radiators to carry away the enormous heat of nuclear/fission driven aerospike lifter engines. Right now, you have to spam coolant tanks or black grap…
