Analysis Conditions

This section defines the physical and environmental parameters under which the performance report was generated.

Overview

A UAV's performance (stall speed, climb rate, static margin, etc.) heavily depends on weight, center of gravity position, and atmospheric density. Therefore, the conditions section provides mandatory context for every report.

Physical Conditions

Parameter	Unit	Required	Description
total_mass	g	Yes	Total flight weight at the time of analysis.
cg_position_x	mm	Yes	Center of Gravity (CG) position from the nose.

Atmospheric Conditions

Parameter	Unit	Default	Description
altitude_msl	m	0	Analysis altitude (Above Mean Sea Level).
temperature	C	15.0	Ambient temperature.
air_density	kg/m³	1.225	Air density. If not provided, it should be calculated from altitude and temperature using the standard atmosphere model.

Example Configuration

conditions:
  total_mass: 2500       # 2.5 kg flight weight
  cg_position_x: 610.5   # 610.5mm CG position
  altitude_msl: 1000     # 1000m altitude
  temperature: 10.0      # 10 degrees Celsius
  air_density: 1.112     # Approx density at 1000m
