Function normal_force_n 

Source 
pub fn normal_force_n(
    dynamic_pressure_pa: f64,
    reference_diameter_m: f64,
    normal_force_slope_per_rad: f64,
    angle_of_attack_rad: f64,
) -> f64
Expand description

The normal force, N, that a normal-force slope normal_force_slope_per_rad on a reference diameter reference_diameter_m gives at an angle of attack angle_of_attack_rad in a dynamic pressure dynamic_pressure_pa: q · (π d²/4) · |C_Nα| · α, the linear model, which is what the aerodynamics assume.
