### Summary Changes the location of the initialization of 'initial_guesses'. This fixes an error with load_inputs() when called with an AviaryValues object, rather than a .csv input file. Change to...
### Description Unable to select different verbosity options using the aviary command line interface when running the fortran_to_aviary function. The documentation (and help command) suggests that you can parse an...
### Desired capability or behavior. Add a new form factor relationship specifically for Nacelles to generate more accurate drag buildup. FLOPS (and Aviary) uses the same form factor relationship for...
### Desired capability or behavior. We should update documentation, consider renaming and/or possibly removing variables. There are 3 thickness to chord ratio inputs to FLOPS. These are currently mapped to...
### Description The IPOPT test in test_bench_GwGm doesn't converge. No errors are thrown, and due to the generous 1% tolerance on the assert_near_equal() constraints, then the tests pass. This example...
### Desired capability or behavior. Fuel variables and calculations can be improved for usability. 'Capacity' naming is unclear - it should be made more explicit by being changed to volume...
### Summary Update of Gross mass upper and lower bounds and reference values for consistency across mission_methods and to allow for modelling of aircraft up to 900000lbm gross mass. Before...
### Summary This PR makes the initial guessing in phase info consistent for the user and requires initial guesses for all phases to be specified as [initial, final] pairs. The...
### Desired capability or behavior. The off design mission analysis currently instantiates a whole new aviary problem object and re-runs the entirety of the pre-mission block. This is not really...
### Description When running Alternate or fallout missions the masses of avionics and air conditioning systems changes, which is incorrect. The design fuel mass is also incorrectly recalculated. ### Example...
