Build Status Documentation License

This is a suite for Flight Mechanics written in Julia. The purpose of this package is to supply efficient and validated Julia implementations of common Flight Mechanics calculations.

At the moment, it covers:

  • International Standard Atmosphere.
  • Transformations between common coordinate systems in Flight Mechanics problems (body, horizon, wind, ECEF) supporting Euler angles and quaternions.
  • Kinematics & Dynamics:
    • Rigid solid velocity and acceleration fields.
    • Angular kinematic equations.
    • Steiner theorem:to determine the moment of inertia of a rigid body about any axis.
    • Trimmer constrains for leveled flight, climbs and turns.
  • Anemometric functions (tas, cas, eas, dynamic pressure).
  • ECEF (Earth Centered Earth Fixed) <---> LLH (Latitude Longitude Height) conversions.
