Nacelles can currently not be modeled due to their ring like shape.
  
-=== Other Aerodynamic classes === +In knife edge flight or high angles of attack the ''aerofuselage'' creates the greatest amount of lift compared to all other aerodynamic objects. Like an airfoil the aerofuselage has a lift coefficient, in fact two even. One for the side forces (y-direction) and one for the up/down forces (z-axis). It also has a drag coefficient for each of the axis.

Use [[aerowing#downwash|aerowing downwash]] and the [[airfoil#cmalpha|airfoil CmAlpha]] parameters. > The ''Cm'' of the fuselage is not the ideal parameter to make an aircraft more agile around the pitch axis.

 +The ''LateralForceCoefficient'' and ''LateralDragCoefficient'' of a [[propeller]] also have a large influence on the knife edge flight. (Please see main topic about the [[propeller]] class)
