Estimate Inertia Tensor

Calculation of the inertia tensor.

estimate inertia tensor

Description

The Estimate Inertia Tensor block calculates the inertia tensor as a function of mass and the rate of change of the inertia tensor as a linear function of the rate of change of mass. Linear interpolation is used to determine the inertia tensor.

Ports

Input

mass - mass
scalar

Mass.

Data types: Float64.

dm/dt - rate of change of mass
scalar

Rate of change of mass.

Data types: Float64.

Output

I - inertia tensor
`matrix 3 by 3

Inertia tensor.

Data types: Float64.

dI/dt - rate of change of inertia tensor
matrix 3 by 3

Rate of change of the inertia tensor.

Data types: Float64.

Parameters

Full mass - full mass
2.0 (by default) | scalar

The total mass of the aircraft.

Empty mass - mass without fuel
1.0 (By default) | scalar

The mass of the aircraft without fuel.

Full inertia matrix - inertia tensor at full mass
[1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0; 0.0 1.0 0.0; 0.0 0.0 1.0] (by default) | ` 3 by 3 matrix'.

Inertia tensor at full mass of the aircraft.

Empty inertia matrix - inertia tensor at mass without fuel
[0.5 0.0 0.0 0.0; 0.0 0.0 0.5 0.0; 0.0 0.0 0.5] (by default) | `a 3 by 3 matrix'.

Inertia tensor at aircraft mass without fuel.
