Abstract

System of computer programs uses linear theories to evaluate static and dynamic stability, trim state, inertial, and aerodynamic loading, and elastic deformations of aircraft configurations at subsonic and supersonic speeds. Primary emphasis is on analysis of stability and control characteristics of flexible aircraft. System also solves simple rigid aerodynamic problems.
