GV_AOAfromRadome: GV_AOAfromRadome

In WilliamCooper/Ranadu: Functions for use with RAF aircraft data files

Description

Calculate angle of attack from radome pressures

Usage

GV_AOAfromRadome(ADIFR, QCF, MACH = 0.8, CF = c(4.605, 18.44, 6.75))

Arguments

ADIFR	The pressure difference between top and bottom radome ports
QCF	The dynamic pressure (use consistent units for ADIFR and QCF.) By convention, this calibration related to the uncorrected value QCF, not the PCorFunction()-corrected value QCFC.
MACH	The Mach number
CF	Three-coefficient vector representing the standard-formula calibration coefficients of the radome. Default is c(4.605, 18.44, 6.75). Cf. the document on ProcessingAlgorithms.pdf. These are the default values for the NSF/NCAR GV.

Details

based on calibration, applies model for AOA given ADIFR, QCF, and Mach Number

Value

The angle of attack in degrees (possibly a vector)
