Taper ratio and aspect ratio of cruciform/T-tail configuration

[xjjiang]

Desired capability or behavior.

Copied from source code: For cruciform/T-tail configurations, GASP checks to make sure the V tail chord at the H tail location is greater than the H tail root chord. If not, it overrides the H tail taper ratio so they match. If that leads to a H tail root chord greater than the H tail tip chord, it sets the taper ratio to 1 and overrides the H tail aspect ratio. H tail taper ratio is used in landing gear mass calculation.

See subsystems/geometry/gasp_based/empennage.py for details.

This kind of behavior is best handled in Aviary as either a preprocessor step if possible, or potentially something done in fortran_to_aviary if that makes more sense
