## Getting started
### Installation
#### Pip installation
To install this module with pip, please use:
```bash
pip install flight-mech
```
#### Manual installation
For a manual installation, please clone the repository and install the required Python libraries using the command:
```bash

```bash
cd docs
make html
```
And open the file `docs/_build/html/index.html` in your browser.
### Functionalities
This software includes various modules to build a numerical plane model and compute its characteristics. The modules implemented are the following:
- `atmosphere` : defines several atmosphere models to compute density, temperature, pressure and other quantities.
- `aerodynamics` : contains functions to compute quantities in the boundary layer of a fluid flow.
- `airfoil` : allows to define the geometry of an airfoil and compute the lift and moment coefficients.
- `wing` : allows to define the geometry of a wing and compute the lift and drag coefficients.
- `fuel` : defines several types of broadly used fuels in aeronautics.
- `turbine` : allows to define several types of turbine to compute their thrust and consumption at various operating conditions.
- `plane` : allows to define a numerical plane model, binding the previous modules, to compute its flight characteristics.
