Hi there,
I'm trying to setup VTOL configuration on a default propeller aircraft, as a starting point for a future project.
What I want is something like Flaps Full= VTOL and Flaps 0=horizontal flight. I believe this can be achieved if, in the aerodynamics, the aircraft is set as a Flap (which makes sense). But I would like to maintain its initial characteristics as much as possible, although I am not looking for realism.
So I noticed while "playing" with AirEd, on section 1101 of a Mooney AIR file, there is the CD_df and CL_df. I have made changes with a variety of numbers, and I noticed no effect on the aircraft. It probably is connected to another(s) definition(s) of that section that shall be changed as well.
I have been comparing this file with VTOL aircraft files but as in aerodynamics everything is connected, and AIR files are hard to decipher, any insight can be helpful regarding this matter.
Thanks
