Module form_factor

Module form_factor 

Source
Expand description

Legacy name-based form-factor heuristics.

These category multipliers are not literature form factors and must not be multiplied into a reference drag coefficient when retardation is already divided by a published/measured BC: BC = sectional_density / form_factor already carries the projectile’s shape efficiency. The live solvers therefore do not call this module (MBA-1184). The public helpers remain for API compatibility and possible BC-estimation experiments where no measured BC is available.
