Angles in radians or degrees...? #16

Open jelmermc opened 1 year ago

jelmermc commented 1 year ago

hi,

in most codes, angles for e.g. twist and angle of attack for polars, are provided in degrees. Is radians really the preferred unit? In conversations people also tend to talk in degrees, so that would be a more logical choice, in my opinion. Radians would probably be a nuisance for most people if WindIO would manage to become a industry-wide accepted standard.

hello Jelmer, indeed, we are planning to switch from radians to degrees. Thanks for the note. We'll keep this issue open as we update things. Regards, Pietro
