Classes
class	AircraftSpecsConfTxt
	Fills a AircraftSpecs object from a .conf textual file. More...
class	AircraftSpecs
	Specifications/characteristics of an Aircraft. More...
class	Conf
	Module configuration. More...
class	AircraftPhysics
	AircraftPhysics model. More...
class	PhysicsControl
	Main Physics object. More...
class	Meter
	Scalar distance. Vector distance is GeoVertex (rather than Meter3). More...
class	Speed
	Speed in meters/second. Speed measures magnitude, not direction, so it is a scalar. More...
class	Velocity
	Velocity measures magnitude and direction, so it is a vector. velocity = distance/time meter/second = Speed type = Velocity[Speed,Speed,Speed] Defining Velocity as Vertex3<Speed> proved impractical (required too much casting). More...
class	Mach
	Speed in Mach units. More...
class	Kilogram
	Measurement of mass/inertia. Mass and weight are different (mass is inertia, weight is a force). More...
class	Newton
	Measurement of force. F = M * A (unit of force needed to accelerate a unit of mass). N = kg * meter/t/t. More...
class	SpeedKPH
	Kilometers-per-hour. More...
class	SpeedMPH
	Miles-per-hour (metric preferred). More...
