Title: Tools for Modelling of Animal Flight Performance
Author: Marco KleinHeerenbrink [aut, cre],
Description: Allows estimation and modelling of flight costs in animal (vertebrate) flight,
implementing the aerodynamic power model described in Klein Heerenbrink et al.
(2015) <doi:10.1098/rspa.2014.0952>. Taking inspiration from the program
'Flight', developed by Colin Pennycuick (Pennycuick (2008) "Modelling the flying
bird". Amsterdam: Elsevier. ISBN 0-19-857721-4), flight performance is estimated
based on basic morphological measurements such as body mass, wingspan and wing
area. 'afpt' can be used to make predictions on how animals should adjust their
flight behaviour and wingbeat kinematics to varying flight conditions.

Description: An R API providing access to a relational database with macroeconomic data for Africa.
The database contains >700 macroeconomic time series from mostly international sources,
grouped into 50 macroeconomic and development-related topics. Series are carefully selected
on the basis of data coverage for Africa, frequency, and relevance to the macro-development context.
The project is part of the 'Kiel Institute Africa Initiative'
which, amongst other things, aims to develop a parsimonious database with highly relevant indicators
to monitor macroeconomic developments in Africa, accessible through a fast API and a web-based platform
The database is maintained at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy <https://www.ifw-kiel.de/>.
