Subsystem Airdata1

Airdata1 computes the speed of sound a, the Mach number M, and the dynamic pressure qdyn. The block Airdata1 is contained in the subsystem Airdata Group of the Beaver model. Other airdata (-related) variables are computed in the blocks Atmosph, Airdata2, and Airdata3, which also contained in the subsystem Airdata Group.
