Improve true airspeed estimate #29

Open bsutherland333 opened 1 month ago

Currently, ROSplane is using a hard-coded air density value to calculate true airspeed. We believe this is leading to a bias in airspeed, and we need to fix this. We do need to keep in mind that aerodynamic calculations should be based on equivalent airspeed, but airspeed command should be based on true airspeed.
