Aircraft Aerodynamic Model

Model an aircraft's total lift and drag coefficients all the way up to stall. Predict its low AOA longitudinal, lateral, and directional static stability.

Usage Disclaimer

  • The effect of the wing's wake on the tail is not modeled. This includes deep stall.
  • Tail authority is not modeled past aircraft stall. If the model says the aircraft can pitch up to stall, the aircraft can likely stall itself.
  • Static stability is evaluated at 0 AOA.
  • The effects of wing sweep become less reliable past 35 degrees, and can be considered inaccurate past 45 degrees.
  • Changing the selected input units does not change the value of inputs that have already been typed out.
  • High AOA results begin to break down for airfoils of thickness below 9%.
  • High AOA wing results break down below roughly AR = 4 and are best used above roughly AR = 5.
