The PROPELLER INDEX 0 DISC AREA is broken down into rings for propwash distribution
as follows:
element number 0, rad1= 0.00, rad2= 0.10, ring area= 0.0318 square
meters
element number 1, rad1= 0.10, rad2= 0.20, ring area= 0.0954 square

BEFORE any tip weights, the PROPELLER INDEX 0 weighs 9.072 kg, and the MI is
1.502 kg*m*m
AFTER any tip weights, the PROPELLER INDEX 0 weighs 9.072 kg, and the MI is
1.502 kg*m*m
Critical altitude for recip and turboprop engines= 0 ft, rho at crit alt= 1.2250
kg/mmm, rho at SL= 1.2250 kg/mmm, engine power boosted to 1.0000 of original.
After LINKER FLÜGEL 1, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is
6.7633 square meters for all wings listed so far
After RECHTER FLÜGEL 1, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is
13.5267 square meters for all wings listed so far
After LINKER FLÜGEL 2, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is
21.2860 square meters for all wings listed so far
After RECHTER FLÜGEL 2, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is
29.0453 square meters for all wings listed so far
After LINKER FLÜGEL 3, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is
29.7369 square meters for all wings listed so far
After RECHTER FLÜGEL 3, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is
30.4285 square meters for all wings listed so far
After LINKES HÖHENRUDER, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is
34.0092 square meters for all wings listed so far
After RECHTES HÖHENRUDER, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is
37.5899 square meters for all wings listed so far
After Seitenleitwerk 1, the RUNNING TOTAL wetted area for mass distribution is
40.7474 square meters for all wings listed so far
WETTED AREAS IS FOR MASS DISTRIBUTION, NOT AERODYNAMICS, AND WING MASS ESTIMATES
ARE DONE AT 50% MASS PER SQUARE METER COMPARED TO BODIES.
THIS IS BECAUSE FUSELAGES HAVE A LOT OF STUFF INSIDE OF THEM, WHILE WINGS ARE
HOLLOW (FUEL IS FOUND SEPARATELY PER-FRAME BASED ON FUEL LOAD!)
SO THE EFFECTIVE WETTED AREA FOR MASS DISTRIBUTION AFTER ALL WINGS IS 20.3737
square meters.
