The variables meanning of thrust model in "UAVFidelityExample'

Hi,

I want to modify the UAV model in "Transition from Low- to High-Fidelity UAV Models in Three Stages"

However, I'm confused about the variables in the UAV thrust model.

Especially the 'midFidelityUAV.MinThk', 'midFidelityUAV.MinThk' , and 'midFidelityUAV.Tfact'. What does these variables mean? Is there any papers that I can refer to?

Another confusion comes from the 'Thrust Available(lbs)'. Is there a specific source for this equation?

You can refer to the engine model described in AUTONOMOUS LANDING SYSTEM FOR A UAV by Mariano I. Lizarraga
