As usual with time estimates, things are taking slightly longer than expected, but everything but the cruise model is implemented at this point (which I will do later tonight). I'm currently missing any helper functions for computing heading and lat/lon, which will be needed for @prateekr9SF's weather model, but the ground speed model is otherwise ready for a calc_groundspeed function.

Also, some fun AEIC v2 facts I learned in transcribing:

  • In computing fuel burn due to acceleration in climb/descent an efficiency of 0.15 is used. There is no source for this.
  • The descent ground track distance is estimated to get cruise segment length. In doing so they use a linear function proportional to the altitude descended, but add a static factor of 10 nautical miles. Eight lines later they subtract this 10 nautical miles without doing anything else.

Cruise model is done. Remaining is only introducing the function calls for the ground speed model and functions to calculate heading, lat, and lon at each point. Currently, I'm setting ground speed = TAS for testing. Running the first mission in the sample missions gives the following:

If someone else (@prateekr9SF or @aditeyashukla) could handle integrating the lat/lon/heading and ground speed integration, that would be awesome
