Aircraft Design

I have authored several aircraft design software projects, and make it available here as freeware. Downloads are below.

This software is useful for estimating aircraft (full size and model size) performance. It can analyze using internal combustion engines or electric motors. The file is zipped, and is compiled in VisualBasic5 to create an easy windows-like look.

This next program is useful for aircraft preliminary design for experimental and general aviation. NEW REVISION!

This is the AeroDesign 7 software, a comprehensive preliminary design program for conventional 2-surface aircraft, piston or jet powered. Very useful for sizing and determining loads and performance. The file is zipped, and is compiled in VisualBasic5 to create an easy windows-like look.

The next program is a generalized Vortex Lattice Method in which you can create any number of cambered surfaces with prismatic shapes. You can put them together to create complex shapes to determine lift, drag, center of pressures, etc. A very flexible analytical aerodynamic design program.
