New Category: `Aircraft.Engine.Propeller.` in variable_meta_data #229

Open ehariton opened 3 months ago

ehariton commented 3 months ago

Desired capability or behavior.

We have lots of variables in Aircraft.Engine that have propeller in the name or are only applicable to propeller designs. We may want to make a new category just to hold those values in variable_meta_data.py.

i.e. Aircraft.Engine.PROPELLER_INTEGRATED_LIFT_COEFFICIENT -> Aircraft.Engine.propeller.INTEGRATED_LIFT_COEFFICIENT

The following names have been identified as only pertaining to propellers:

Aircraft.Engine.PROPELLER_INTEGRATED_LIFT_COEFFICIENT
Aircraft.Engine.PROPELLER_ACTIVITY_FACTOR
Aircraft.Engine.NUM_PROPELLER_BLADES
Aircraft.Engine.PROPELLER_DIAMETER
Aircraft.Design.MAX_PROPELLER_TIP_SPEED
Dynamic.Mission.PROPELLER_TIP_SPEED
Aircraft.Engine.HAS_PROPELLERS
Dynamic.Mission.INSTALLATION_LOSS_FACTOR

If we decide we'd rather not introduce a 4-depth hierarchy, just Aircraft.Propeller. is an alternative we can consider edit: we now have support for hierarchies of arbitrary depth so Aircraft.Engine.Propeller will work
