Description
Desired capability or behavior.
FLOPS actually has two inputs to set desired max lift coefficient in takeoff: 'AERIN.CLTOM' and 'TOLIN.CLTOM'. The AERIN value is only used for simple takeoff, while the TOLIN value is for detailed takeoff.
Aviary only needs one value (Mission.Takeoff.LIFT_COEFFICIENT_MAX), so we will need to write a special case in fortran_to_aviary to handle this. I am not sure what we should do in the case that both values are present, likely picking one and printing a warning to the user (or adding a comment in-line for that variable, which we currently can't do but would be very helpful)
