A simple convenience wrapper around Unitful.jl that provides type aliases and exports units often used in aviation or automotive simulations.

Installation

Unit Types

These units are exported from Unitful with added type aliases. Note, nmi and kt were added.

ft::Foot
m::Meter
mi::Mile
nmi::NauticalMile

kt::Knot
ge::EarthGravity

s::Second
minute::Minute
hr::Hour

°::Degree
rad::Radian

Examples

julia> using Units

julia> x = 1nmi

julia> x/hr == 1kt
true

julia> sim(x::Foot, y::Foot) = x^2 + y^2

julia> sim(1ft, 2ft)
5 ft^2

julia> sim(1m, 2m)
