Remove the necessity of passing CLmax as a Aerodynamic_surface parameter #103

Closed rafaellehmkuhl closed 4 years ago

rafaellehmkuhl commented 5 years ago

Currently the CLmax of the airfoil is a value passed on the dictionary, but this is bad because this is an actual property, not a choice from the user.

The other problem is that there is one parameter for the whole wing, which makes using two airfoils on the same wing wrong.

A perfect solution would be to make the AVL wrapper (who calls XFoil) returns the CLmax for the analysed airfoil. This would allow even to check for CLmax on each interpolated section (because AVL interpolates the airfoils linearly when the section starts with one airfoil and end with another).

We should think about how to transport this to ADR 2.0.
