godot_aerodynamic_physics
Godot Aerodynamic Physics is a Godot Engine plugin that adds realistic aerodynamic simulation capabilities to 3D projects. It introduces AeroBody3D nodes that can be populated with child AeroInfluencer3D derived classes to model different aerodynamic effects. Key features include AeroSurface for lift and drag generation based on airfoil properties, propeller simulation through dedicated influencer nodes, and atmospheric modeling with variable air density. The plugin is designed for flight simulation, vehicle dynamics, and any project requiring physically based aerodynamic forces. Users can configure airfoil profiles, control surfaces, and atmospheric conditions to create aircraft, drones, or other flying entities. The system also supports advanced concepts like control theory integration for autopilot-style behaviors. The project includes both a GDScript implementation and an in-progress C++ port for improved performance. Documentation covers setup, node usage, aerodynamic design principles, and atmosphere co
