Miscalculated Drag Coefficient
laddpa82 opened this issue ยท 1 comments
The drag coefficient info item is inaccurate when using parachutes. Example craft:
1 Command Pod Mk 1 (m=0.84, coeff=0.2)
1 Mk16 Parachute (m=0.1, stowed drag=0.22)
Total mass = 0.94
Partwise Mass_dragcoeff = 0.84_0.2 + 0.1*0.22 = 0.19
Drag Coefficient = 0.19/0.94 = 0.202
Value returned by MJ = 0.213
Working backwards, this makes it seem as if MJ is using 0.322 for the stowed drag coeff of the Mk16 parachute.
