AP_TECS: Corrected formula for _TASmin according to fix in formula for the load factor
To connect loadFactor to airspeed we can use formula of balancing between lift force and gravity force:
liftForce = loadFactor * gravityForce; on the other hand lift force can be expressed as
liftForce = 0.5 * lifCoefficient * airDensity * sq(airspeed) * referenceArea; minimum airseepd is at loadFactor = 1
and lift force only balances the gravit force, so gravity force (which is same as lift force at minimum airspeed) with minimum airspeed can be expressed as
gravityForce = 0.5 * lifCoefficient * airDensity * sq(airspeed_min) * referenceArea; substituting gravit force in previous formula gives us
0.5 * lifCoefficient * airDensity * sq(airspeed) * referenceArea = loadFactor * 0.5 * lifCoefficient * airDensity * sq(airspeed_min) * referenceArea;
from where we get:
loadFactor = sq(airspeed / airspeed_min); and_TASmin should be
_TASmin *= safe_sqrt(_load_factor);
