Model Workbook - for piston and turbojet aircraft!
|
Dynamics |
The Flight Model Workbook can create
flight models for single and multi-engine aircraft using
either piston engines, turboprop, or turbojet engines.
It can create flight models for anything aircraft from
WW1 Bi-planes to WW2 jets. This Excel spreadsheet was
designed to provide flight model developers with a simple
way to generate reasonably accurate AIR files based
on the physical characteristics of the aircraft. Just
fill in the basic information - weights, dimensions,
power ratings, speeds; adjust the propeller efficiency
or jet thrust; and then click the output buttons. The
utility program AirUpdate, available for download below,
is also required. |
