● Airframes supported : planes and gliders, flying wings, delta, canards, jets, biplane (coming soon)
● Handle elliptic-like lifting surfaces, multifoil wings with dihedral and twist, most of fuselage configurations
● Simultaneous analysis : 3D VLM dual-coupled (linear and non-linear) + 1.5D extended Polhamus
● Wing(s) and plane analysis at user fixed or variable parameters (AOA, speed, lift, motor flight at level and climb), csv data export
● Instant refresh of drawings, results and analysis on plane modification
● Reliable neutral points estimation with fuse effect and A.C. extended Küchemann's correction
● Advanced airfoil workshop : Bezier & Spline curves, NACA generator, point by point or global modification, graphic and text editor, etc.
● Airfoil polar generation, visualization and comparison , with 2D and 3D polar : Alpha, Cl, Cd, Cm, Cl/Cd and boudarie layer at any Reynolds
● Automatic Reynolds non-linear interpolator with sensitivity analysis and critical Reynolds identification
● Advanced Aspect Ratio design and tuning module
● Advanced Motor and Propeller (static + in flight) simulation module
● Performances comparison tool with charts autotemplate
● Integrated notepad like editor to store comments associated to plane, wings, polar, etc.
● Multi-language : french and english, other languages can be added upon request
● In work, coming 2024 : biplanes, multi-fuselages, PropMatch (automatic propeller & motor matcher vs plane)
● Minimal requirement : Windows 7 + .NET Framework 4.5 (package + verification tool here).
● Work perfectly on Linux with WinHQ + .NET Framework 4.8 (package here, installation by WineTricks).
● Reliable and professional made, digitally signed by certified organization (Certera Code Signing CA)

● Reliable and professional made, digitally signed by certified organization (Certera Code Signing CA)
● Design your own airfoil, wing or plane from scratch
● Digitize an airfoil, a wing or a plane from an image file (photo, scan, drawing, etc.)
● Analyse and improve an existing airfoil, wing or plane (add turbulator, set flap, modify geometry, choose CG, incidences, etc.)
● Simulate flying conditions to choose the best set-up (motor, propeller, ballast, snap-flap, Aspect Ratio etc.) for a given performance target
● Choose the most suitable airfoil(s) and settings for your new plane, glider or flying wing
● Analyse sink rate, glider ratio, power consumption, stall behavior, stabilizer loading, etc.
● Export all geometry to CAD file (.dxf)

Business (> 10 people) licence :
Please ask a quotation via the contact page
Bundled licenses :
If you need more then one licence for yourself or for the organization you represent (club, school or university, research laboratory, company, etc.), please ask a quotation via the contact page, we will offer you a decreasing price according to the quantity. Typically, the licence for the members (qty = 3 or more) of a club is at the student's price.
You have an UAV, RC plane or microlight aircraft project and are not comfortable with aerodynamics ?
Please contact us via the contact page, we can study customized solutions for your project.
