Measuring Flap Performance | Aerodynamics in X-Plane 11 (2/4)
Flaps play a key role in the approach and take-off phases of the flight and are understood by most flight simulator pilots who use X-Plane and and Microsoft Flight Simulator. But how are they designed? Aircraft in the video include the Zibo 738, Toliss A321 and mSparks 744 in X-Plane 11.55 (Vulkan).
This video requires some background knowledge which was explained in the first video of the series here: • The Lift Equation | Aerodynamics in X...
This is by far my most elaborate video to date. After a lot of mucking around with Python and a bunch of testing, I've now got a nice foundation of software to build on for future videos. Buckle up!
