FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

HISTORY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
08/24/00  JSB  Created
01/01/10  T.Kreitler test implementation
11/15/10  T.Kreitler treated flow solver bug, flow and torque calculations 
                     simplified, tiploss influence removed from flapping angles
01/10/11  T.Kreitler changed to single rotor model
03/06/11  T.Kreitler added brake, clutch, and experimental free-wheeling-unit,
                     reasonable estimate for inflowlag
02/05/12  T.Kreitler brake, clutch, and FWU now in FGTransmission, 
                     downwash angles relate to shaft orientation
