About this app

This is designed for students of aerodynamics who require a little more interactive learning. The app allows you to change the test conditions of the analysis and instantly see the changes of the output aerodynamic characteristics. Thin aerofoil theory is a major part of any aerodynamics course at university, use this tool to help you visualise what you are being taught!

This app models classical thin aerofoil theory applied to NACA 4-digit aerofoils and then outputs the parameters that are calculated. these include but are not limited to, The lift Generated, The centre of pressure, and the total circulation.

The app also aims help the student of aerodynamics by giving brief descriptions of the theories used and how they are computed, links are also provided to give the user resources to deepen their understanding.

This app was created as part of a Aerospace engineering University project, because of this I am a solo developer. I am aware there will be possible bugs in the application so please do reach out by mailing me at the given email. Thank you in advanced,

Jack

What’s new

First Iteration of a Fluid simulation aspect of the app
> Click the "wave" at the top of the main screen. Drag your finger across the screen and watch the magic happen.
> note only been tested on emulators and my S22. so may crash older devices. im currently working on customisability to allow users to set things according to their devices capabilities.
