Airbrake
In the Aerofly FS 2 an airbrake
represents a controllable area that creates drag.
Function Description
The airbrake is probably using something similar to this formula:
F_d = 0.5 * rho + v^2 * Cd * Area * Control
Where
- The
Body
(rigidbody) velocity vector and theX0
vector are multiplied using the vector dot product to find out how much the X0 axis of the airbrake is aligned with the current direction of flight. The norm (length) of the velocity (v) is multiplied by that dot product then squared. - Cd is the drag coefficient for the maximum
Area
Area
is the surface size in square meters perpendicular to X0.Control
is the dynamic input values between0.0
and1.0
that scales the Area linearlyX0
is the direction of the airbrake where it is acting (usually this is the x-axis but it could also be pointing upwards.
