DSAeroToolsSim.Models.Lift.simpleLift.simpleLift(Vehicle, *args)

Simple Lift Model

Appends ‘lift’ to Vehicle.State.Aero.lift.

It also returns ‘lift’ for convenience. See segments for example.

### Note: simpleLift requires the following variables to have already been appended to the state:
  • Vehicle.State.Trajectory.V

  • Vehicle.State.Aero.CL

  • Vehicle.State.Atmosphere.rho

Parameters:

Vehicle (Vehicle) – Vehicle from which the lift is being called for. Automatically passed when a call to the Wrapper is made.

Returns:

Lift force for the given velocity and lift coefficient

Return type:

float
