Openrocket Stability Investigation #2

Open PCModeActivate opened 9 months ago

PCModeActivate commented 9 months ago

Determine the stability (Cd and Cp) calculations in regards to the geometry of the airbrake as well as in regards to the geometry of the Rocket.

I've looked through some of the code for where some of the calculations are done.

Cd (for symmetric components): https://github.com/openrocket/openrocket/blob/399caebcee38ac81312f568912bc717d69915b79/core/src/net/sf/openrocket/aerodynamics/barrowman/SymmetricComponentCalc.java#L185-L187

Cp: https://github.com/openrocket/openrocket/blob/399caebcee38ac81312f568912bc717d69915b79/core/src/net/sf/openrocket/aerodynamics/BarrowmanCalculator.java#L245

so we could override the methods of calculation for the airbrakes.
