MODEL WARNINGS

KNOWN OMISSIONS — what this model does not contain

Quasi-steady blade element with added mass, wing inertia and momentum-theory downwash. The terms below are absent, and each is labelled with the direction it would move this result. Generated from the solve rather than hardcoded: which of them matters depends on where in the design space you are standing.
