The tool `aerodynamic_analysis` calculates, as the tool name suggests, the polars of an aircraft.
It uses the tool Lifting Line from DLR to calculate force, lift and moment coefficients for each lifting surface of the aircraft.
These coefficients are used to calculate induced, viscous and wave drag as well as the moment coefficients for the overall aircraft.

The module `mission_analysis` is the key module of the aircraft performance analysis.
Its purpose is to calculate the flight trajectory, based on the inputs of the preliminary aircraft design cycle, by solving the aircraft equations of motion being simplified as a point mass model.
Depending on the method, the fuel consumption is calculated either:
