Description
The Incidence, Sideslip, & Airspeed block calculates the angles between the velocity vector and the body, and also the total airspeed from the velocity components in the body-fixed coordinate frame. For the equations used in the calculation, see Algorithms.

To calculate the angles between the velocity vector and the body, and the total airspeed, the block uses these equations:
The block uses the tan-1
formulation for β to
prevent division by 0
