`write_text_file`	`bool`	Write `txt` file with results	`False`
`text_file_name`	`str`	Text file name
`screen_output`	`bool`	Show results on screen	`True`
`unsteady`	`bool`	Include unsteady contributions	`False`
`coefficients`	`bool`	Calculate aerodynamic coefficients	`False`
`q_ref`	`float`	Reference dynamic pressure	`1`
`S_ref`	`float`	Reference area	`1`
