+Coupi 4,402 Posted July 8, 2016 Hello, I would like to work about flight model data... However I don't know how to begin this (difficult) process! What are the starting point (or points) and the best way to work (different steps)? Is there a glossary? Best regards, Coupi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShrikeHawk 384 Posted July 8, 2016 I keep these two pages as reference material. They are very useful. Look for the posts by Fubar512: http://combatace.com/topic/21867-definitions-of-aero-coefficients/ http://combatace.com/topic/45050-higher-turn-rate-how-to/ For me, understanding how CD0, CDL, CLA, and CMQ work are very important. Changes to CDL in the outer wing produce a more noticeable effect than they do in the inner wing. Incremental changes to these parameters (critical: only one at a time), then several test flights, can teach how these parameters affect flight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
