Description

Desired capability or behavior.

Copied from source code: "include estimation for baseline (unscaled) mass if not provided. See NTRS paper "The Flight Optimization System Weights Estimation Method" on FLOPS equations pg. 30".

See EngineMass of subsystem/mass/flops_based/engine.py.

Research direction

Start with EngineMass in subsystem/mass/flops_based/engine.py and read the referenced NTRS paper, “The Flight Optimization System Weights Estimation Method,” especially the FLOPS equations on page 30. Implement the baseline unscaled-mass estimation for cases where it is not provided, and verify that EngineMass produces the expected estimate in those cases.
