Abstract

Computer programs, WDTVOR and VORTWD, were developed to convert input data between wave drag and VORLAX input formats. Both programs were modified to include the capability of converting multisegment fuselage data. The capability of converting VORLAX geometric data to wave drag format without camber as well as with camber was added to the VORTWD program. Listings of the original program, the modifications, and the modified program are included for both programs.
