This code was created as a demo for empennage team to learn more about integrating python analysis code into their design considerations as well as a sanity check for the HStab - VStab hardpoint bolt choice.

The blue curve represents the Shear Force, Fs, experienced by the support (in this case, the bolts) as a function of cruise speed in ft/s. The reason for the composite units is an attempt to correlate sizing of the plane, done in USCS, and the choice of bolts: (in this case, metric bolts were chosen due to their availability to the team).
