Description

Desired capability or behavior.

Copied from source code: "add in aircraft type and carrier factors as options and modify equations"

See MainGearMass of subsystem/mass/flops_based/landing_gear.py.

See NoseGearMass of subsystem/mass/flops_based/landing_gear.py.

I am not sure what this request means. We've already implemented everything from FLOPS.

Research direction

Start by reading MainGearMass and NoseGearMass in subsystem/mass/flops_based/landing_gear.py, then compare the existing equations with the referenced FLOPS behavior. Clarify with maintainers what aircraft-type and carrier factors are intended before defining the change; done requires an agreed interpretation and corresponding validation.
