The aerodynamic coefficient dependencies should be updated in a way that control surface deflections, and associated modification of coefficients, can be used in propagation/guidance.

A first step of these modifications have been added in the following branch

https://github.com/DominicDirkx/tudat/tree/SpacePlaneModifications

A unit test of the incorporation of control surface deflections in the computation of the aerodynamic coefficients has been added, both within a propagation and separately.

The following is still missing:

  • Addition of control surface options to AerodynamicCoefficientSettings class (interface is now only at AerodynamicCoefficientInterface level).
  • Testing of incorporation of control surface deflections on angle-of-attack trim.
  • Clear documentation, and in part definition, of control surface deflection interfaces. Currently, the control surface deflections can be best computed through the angleUpdateFunction passed to the setOrientationAngleFunctions of the AerodynamicAngleCalculator class (same as vehicle orientation function computation).
  • Interface for reading control surface increments from files. File reading interface is under development (see issue Aerodynamic Coefficient Reader #104), but interface with control surfaces is not yet made.

For a later update, the HypersonicLocalInclinationAnalysis should be updated to allow it to compute control surface increments.
