Critical altitude for recip and turboprop engines=31000 ft, rho at crit alt= 0.4424
kg/mmm, rho at SL= 1.2250 kg/mmm, engine power boosted to 2.7689 of original.
After LEFT WING 1, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 54.8307
square meters for all wings listed so far
After RIGT WING 1, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 109.6614
square meters for all wings listed so far
After LEFT WING 2, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 143.4781
square meters for all wings listed so far
After RIGT WING 2, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 177.2948
square meters for all wings listed so far
After VERT STAB 1, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is 198.6962
square meters for all wings listed so far
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 99.3481
square meters.
As specified in the manual radius of gyration in the Weight and Balance screen in
Plane Maker:
The radius of gyration in roll is 2.13 m
The radius of gyration in pitch is 8.53 m
The radius of gyration in yaw is 5.79 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.
