ENH: Improve for Supersonic Aerodynamics #272

@giovaniceotto

Description

@giovaniceotto

RocketPy implements Barrowman's equations for subsonic compressible flow. As more and more flights achieve the supersonic regime, it is crucial that our aerodynamic model stays accurate at such conditions.

Therefore, this issue requests the implementation of Barrowman's equations considering supersonic flow.

Requirements

  1. Have a reasonably accurate model of normal aerodynamic forces for subsonic, transonic and supersonic flight.

  2. Be able to evaluate the stability margin as a function of Mach number.

Proposed Milestone

v1.1.0
