v0.6.7

KiteModels v0.6.7

Diff since v0.6.6

Changed

• renamed test_init.jl to test_init_4p.jl
• by default, azimuth in wind reference frame is now used
• the orientation is now represented in NED reference frame
• the method calc_heading has two new, optional parameters: neg_azimuth=false, one_point=false
• the definition of heading and azimuth has changed, which will require adaptions in the controller

Added

• example plot_side_cl.jl
• example plot_cl_cd_plate.jl
• example steering_test.jl
• example test_init_1p.jl
• the test script test_orientation.jl was contributed by Daan van Wolffelaar; currently, some of these tests are still broken (error of about 2%)
• XFoil for calculating the polars

Fixed

• many of the examples; all examples of menu.jl now work
