After any wing-joining, our aspect ratio is 17.6000.
After any wing-joining, spanwise centroid is 0.4450 semi-spans. (this
is area centroid fraction of the way out to the tip)
After any wing-joining, our taper ratio is 0.6765.
After any wing-joining, our delta-wing ratio is 0.0000.

The PROP INDEX 0 DISC AREA is broken down into rings for propwash distribution as

TOTAL DISC AREA= 3.1784 square meters
BEFORE any tip weights, the PROP INDEX 0 weighs 9.072 kg, and the MI is 1.502
kg*m*m
AFTER any tip weights, the PROP INDEX 0 weighs 9.072 kg, and the MI is 1.502
kg*m*m
Critical altitude for recip and turboprop engines= 0 ft, rho at crit alt= 1.2250
kg/mmm, rho at SL= 1.2250 kg/mmm, engine power boosted to 1.0000 of original.
Engine # 0, is mass 142.882 kg at x= 0.00, y= -0.06, z= -2.14, and the MI is

0.840 kg*m*m
Prop # 0, is mass 9.072 kg at x= 0.00, y= -0.06, z= -2.14
After LEFT WING 1, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 6.7633
square meters for all wings listed so far
After RIGT WING 1, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 13.5267
After LEFT H STAB, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 34.0092
After RIGT H STAB, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 37.5899
After VERT STAB 1, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 40.7474
WETTED AREAS IS FOR MASS DISTRIBUTION, NOT AERODYNAMICS, AND WING MASS ESTIMATES
ARE DONE AT 50% MASS PER SQUARE METER COMPARED TO BODIES.
THIS IS BECAUSE FUSELAGES HAVE A LOT OF STUFF INSIDE OF THEM, WHILE WINGS ARE
HOLLOW (FUEL IS FOUND SEPARATELY PER-FRAME BASED ON FUEL LOAD!)
SO THE EFFECTIVE WETTED AREA FOR MASS DISTRIBUTION AFTER ALL WINGS IS 20.3737
square meters.
Now for MI from FUSELAGE:

The frontal area is 1.6873 square
meters
The side area is 6.4812 square
meters
The top area is 5.8552 square
meters
The lateral centroid is 0.00 meters
The vertical centroid is -0.10 meters
The longitudinal centroid for lift at 0 alpha is 0.83 meters
The longitudinal centroid for side force at 0 beta is 0.83 meters
The RUNNING TOTAL wetted area is 43.3088 square
meters, for the entire craft, including all wings, top and bottom surfaces, and all
bodies listed so far
Now for MI from NACELLE 1:

The longitudinal centroid for lift at 0 alpha is -2.15 meters

Remainder of the craft has mass 628.68 ( 81% of total):

The radius of gyration of the shell in roll is 1.44 m, based on mass-
distribution across the shell of the craft with a 50% weighting on all of the
flying surfaces
The radius of gyration of the shell in pitch is 1.84 m, based on mass-
flying surfaces
The radius of gyration of the shell in yaw is 2.23 m, based on mass-
flying surfaces
Final combined results:

The radius of gyration in roll is 1.29 m
The radius of gyration in pitch is 1.90 m
The radius of gyration in yaw is 2.22 m
The centroid of all wings is at 0.83 m (positive aft from CG)
