21 NOTE:  Most of the commands discussed in this documentation are 
22        currently implemented in the UIUC aerodynamics model.  Those 
23        denoted by '|' are proposed and will likely be added in the 
24        future but are not currently implemented.  Some commands are 
25        in use but not producing the desired results.  These are 
26        clearly noted, so please do not attempt to use them at this 
27        time.

55 II. General Input Line Format:
56
57 Examples input lines include
58
59 Cm Cmo           0.194  # []          Bray pg 33
60 Cm Cm_a         -2.12   # [/rad]      Bray pg 33

64
65 keyword  variableName  <value -or- file> | ->
66     <value -or- file>  # [units]  <data source>
67
68 Each term of the input line will be discussed in turn.
69
70 (1) KEYWORDS
71 ============
72
73 There currently exist the following variable keyword types:
74
75 init            Initial values for equation of motion
76 geometry        Aircraft-specific geometric quantities
77 controlSurface  Control surface deflections and properties
78 |controlsMixer  Control surface mixer options
79 mass            Aircraft-specific mass properties
80 engine          Propulsion data
81 CD              Aerodynamic x-force quantities (longitudinal)
82 CL              Aerodynamic z-force quantities (longitudinal)
83 Cm              Aerodynamic m-moment quantities (longitudinal)
84 CY              Aerodynamic y-force quantities (lateral)
85 Cl              Aerodynamic l-moment quantities (lateral)
86 Cn              Aerodynamic n-moment quantities (lateral)
87 gear            Landing gear model quantities
88 ice             Icing model parameters
89 record          Record desired quantites to file
90 misc            Miscellaneous inputs
91 fog             Fog field quantities
92
93 As each line of the input file is read, the code recognizes the
94 keyword, enters the appropriate switch statement in the code, and
95 proceeds to read the next term in the input line.
96
97 (2) VARIABLE NAMES
98 ==================
99
100 The variable name indicates the form of the variable itself.  This
101 form may be a constant, a stability derivative (a specific form of a
102 constant), or a variable-dimensional lookup table.  More variable
103 types can be easily prescribed by defining a new convention.  The
104 variable name may also indicate that the quantity is to be calculated
105 from a hard-coded equation or set of equations provided at an
106 appropriate location within the code.
107
108 If the parameter name denotes a constant, a numerical value will 
109 follow the variable name.  If a lookup table, the name of the table 
110 containing the data will follow.
111
112 More than one value or file name can be specified if the code is 
113 intended to read in multiple pieces of data when implementing the 
114 particular switch in question (see also OPTIONAL data, section (3)).
115
116 The conventions used for naming the variables are provided below.

746
747 To calculate the aero forces, angles (eg, alfa, beta, elevator deflection, etc)
748 must be in radians.  To convert input data in degree to radian, use a
749 conversion code of 1.  To use no conversion, use a conversion code of 0.

1103 The first line says that there will be 4 fog_point statements following.
1104 From time 0 to 30 seconds, the fog will increase linearly to 500.  From 
1105 30 to 35 seconds, the fog will decrease linearly to 200.  From 35 to 40
1106 seconds the fog will decrease to -100.  From 40 to 50 the fog will
1107 increase to 0.
