Detailed Description

This class is used to allow every all-moving control surface class
(e.g. Stabilator) to inherit from both a type of Wing (Horizontal_Tail
in the case of a Stabilator) and this class. This, way All_Moving_Surface
subclasses can inherit necessary functionality without code bloat or 
lengthy type checking if-statements.

In general, this class should not be used directly, and should only exist
as one of the parents of another class that also inherits from Wing

Member Function Documentation

__defaults__()

def SUAVE.Components.Wings.All_Moving_Surface.All_Moving_Surface.__defaults__

(

self

)

This sets the default for All_Moving_Surface objects in SUAVE.

Attributes also found in Control_Surface:
    see Control_Surface().__defaults__ for an explanation of attributes. Any
    attributes used by this class that are shared with Control_Surface should 
    always adhere to the convention established in Control_Surface.py
    
Attributes unique to All_Moving_Surface:
- use_constant_hinge_fraction: false by default. If this is true, the hinge vector 
    will follow a constant chord_fraction allong the wing, regardless of what is set
    for hinge_vector. Note that constant hinge fractions are how hinges are handled for 
    Control_Surfaces. If this attribute is false, the hinge vector is described by
    the hinge_vector attribute
- hinge_vector: The vector in body-frame that the hingeline points along. By default, 
    it is [0,0,0], and this is taken to mean that the hinge line is normal to the root
    chord, in-plane with the wing. This attribute does nothing if use_constant_hinge_fraction
    is set to True.
