Aircraft Performance Program (APP), SharkCAD-AeroPack and FlightStream Introduction and Demonstration
About this Event
The Aircraft Performance Program APP is a specialized software for aircraft performance analysis. APP computes the complete range of aircraft performance parameters over a user-specified range of altitudes, speeds and other variables. The software provides evaluates functions for the examination of a wide variety of data and the capability to compute and optimize all kind of mission profiles based on defined mission specifications. The types of mission flight phases are suitable for civil as well as military aircraft. FlightStream is a subsonic, viscous, surface-vorticity panel-method flow solver using a unique surface vorticity, flow-separation & viscous analysis capability for the emerging distributed-electric propulsion, unmanned-aerial-systems aircraft and the Urban Air Mobility/eVTOL industry. It is trikes the proper balance between modeling fidelity and computational tractability. The result is a unique, integrated, robust, modular aeropropulsive and aeroacoustic analysis. SharkCAD Pro is professional robust 3D modeling software with capabilities allow users to easily render airplane prototypes and anything else that requires high-end visuals. AeroPack is a collection of unique drawing tools created specifically for airplane design to model airplane components in 3D with a matter of clicks. The Import Airplane tool allows users to import geometry from Advanced Aircraft Analysis (AAA).
