Mass Metrics#
The following module contains methods to size for the weight of an eVTOL. Most of these methods are class 2 weigt estimations
- tuduam.mass_metrics.class2_fuselage_mass(vtol: VTOL, flight_perf: FlightPerformance, fuselage: Fuselage)[source]#
Returns the mass of the fuselage.
- Parameters:
- vtolVTOL
VTOL data structure, requires: mtom.
- flight_perfFlightPerformance
FlightPerformance data structure.
- fuselageFuselage
Fuselage data structure.
- Returns:
- float
Fuselage mass.
- tuduam.mass_metrics.class2_wing_mass(vtol: VTOL, flight_perf: FlightPerformance, wing: SingleWing)[source]#
Returns the structural weight of both wings.
- Parameters:
- vtolVTOL
VTOL data structure.
- flight_perfFlightPerformance
FlightPerformance data structure.
- wingSingleWing
SingleWing data structure.
- Returns:
- float
Mass of both wings in kg.
