Contents

No.	Section	Content
—	Title block	Project, package, date, number of solutions, and the reference values, mass, CG, cruise speed and Reynolds number.
1	Summary	Best glide, stall speed, power at cruise, static margin and the findings.
2	The aircraft and the method	The CAD model, the solver, turbulence model, mesh sizes and boundary-layer resolution, the air and how loads are averaged.
3	The flow around the aircraft	Pictures of the flow from a kept run.
4	Aerodynamics	Lift curve, drag polar, L/D and pitching moment, with a table.
5	Stability and control	Static margin, neutral point, pitch trim, sideslip derivatives, control effectiveness and hinge moments with a servo check.
6	Performance	Speeds, power and efficiency against speed.
7	Verification	The checks that repeat a solution with one setting changed, and what changed.
A	Computations	Every run with its model, cell count, iterations, wall time and solution type.

Hinge moments and servos

For a flight model, section 5 lists each surface’s moment about its hinge per degree of deflection and at full travel at the autopilot’s top speed, beside the servo torque set in Aircraft ‣ Surfaces, with a reading such as Enough or Holds it, under the 2× margin. Use it to choose servos.
