Subsystem Airdata3

Airdata3 computes the total temperature Tt and Reynolds numbers Re and Rc. Actually, the Reynolds numbers are no 'airdata variables', but they are closely related. Also, they are very important in aerospace engineering, in particular for the evaluation of windtunnel experiments. The block Airdata3 is contained in the subsystem Airdata Group of the system Beaver. Other airdata (-related) variables are computed in the blocks Atmosph, Airdata1, and Airdata2, which also contained in the subsystem Airdata Group.
