Damping derivatives calculations #6

Open cfsengineering opened 4 years ago

cfsengineering commented 4 years ago

It would be nice to have "damping derivatives" results for the three main axis rotation rates (p,q,r). They can be stored in the CPACS file @ .../AeroMap[i]/aeroPerformanceMap/dampingDerivatives

Before implementation, please have a look at [Drel14]. Drela describes an efficient method for the computation of stability and control derivatives in section 6.5.7.
