Aircraft Performance Analyzer (APA) Live Task

Introduction

The APA Live Task lets you interactively analyze the performance of your electric fixed-wing aircraft design. These performance insights help you further optimize the design against the design requirements. This live task offers multiple performance analysis capabilities:

1. Power requirements: Required power, max. available power, drag vs. speed, max speed, min drag speed, stall speeds for various operations
2. Range and Endurance: Rangevs. speed, endurance vs. speed, and speeds for max range and max endurance
3. Take-off: Various take-off phases and total take-off distance
4. Landing: Various landing phases and total landing distance

Additionally,

• you can export the Aero.FixedWing object for further pursuing stability analysis.
• you can edit the generated code and extend the performance analysis as per your requiremts.

How to use it?
