Curerntly, as far as I understand, JSBSim does not support the buildup of
the aerodynamic characteristics by taking the wing-body alone and adding the
tail contribution. This is essential for example in investigating an
aircraft behaviour during ice contaminated tailplane stall, a "hot" subject
nowadays.
For example, the total pitching moment would be: CM_wing-body + CLtail *
tail_volume.
Of course, the aero model should then need to include the downwash (Epsilon)
at the tail (as a function of alpha, flaps, etc.) and CLtail vs. alpha_tail.
My questions therefore are:
1. Is it possible to introduce Epsilon tables in the aircraft properties
file?
2. Is it possible to have an option to evaluate alpha_tail (alpha_aircraft +
horizontal_stab – Epsilon + dynamic components) whenever an Epsilon table is
present in the properties file? This would be essential to calculate the
tail lift and its contribution to the overall pitching moment.
