AIM Outputs

The following list outlines the Missile Datcom outputs available through the AIM interface.

Forces and moments:

  • CNtot = Normal Force Coefficient (body axis).
  • CAtot = Axial Force Coefficient (body axis).
  • CYtot = Side Force Coefficient (body axis).
  • Cmtot = Pitching Moment Coefficient (body axis).
  • Cntot = Yawing Moment Coefficient (body axis).
  • Cltot = Rolling Moment Coefficient (body axis).
  • CLtot = Lift Coefficient (wind axis).
  • CDtot = Drag Coefficient (wind axis).
  • Xcp = Center of Pressure in calibers from the moment reference center.

Derivatives - Alpha:

  • CNa = Normal force coefficient derivative with angle of attack.
  • Cma = Pitching moment coefficient derivative with angle of attack.

Derivatives - Beta:

  • CYb = Side force coefficient derivative with sideslip angle.
  • Cnb = Yawing moment coefficient derivative with sideslip angle (body axis).
  • Clb = Rolling moment coefficient derivative with sideslip angle (body axis).

Echo inputs for case specific information:

  • Alpha = Angle of attack from output file.
  • Mach = Mach number from output file.
  • Altitude = Altitude from output file.
