    Hi,
    I’m curious about the aerodynamic model in Aerofly RC.
    What methods are used to simulate airflow and the lift distribution over the wings, is it maybe Anderson or Roskam methods calculating in the background?
    Is it based on computational fluid dynamics, vortex/panel methods, or simplified lookup tables for each airfoil?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, I am making my own aircraft for aerofly rc and have some questions about the coefficients in [aerofuselage] string. As I understand coefficient Cdx is constant since it is present only when aircraft is flying perfectly straight in the direction of x axis. But what about other coefficients Cdz, Clz, Cdy, Cly and Cm, do they have any relation to the AOA eg. higher AOA, higher the coefficient or are they also just a constant value in all AOA scenarios?

    I would very much appreciate any explanation since I couldn't find any details on aerofly wiki or already discussed on this forum.

    Thanks to anyone taking their time to answer
