RE: Aerodynamic tools, calculators and test links
[link=http://www.rcadvisor.com]RCadvisor.com[/link] provides an advanced free online calculator for model airplane building and design. It features an electric power system optimizer, a virtual wind tunnel, a scale model sizing tool, and a real-time airfoil analyzer. The calculator requires no installation and runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Our calculator uses ToolTips to provide help on highlighted entry fields, when it has advice to give, or to indicate an invalid entry. An online tutorial guides the user through common tasks. Twenty-five interactive graphs highlight trends at a glance. Graphs and results are recalculated automatically with every data edit, encouraging experimentation and speeding up the learning process.
Designed as a set of workbenches, each component (motors, airfoils, etc.) can be analyzed independently. A consistent layout for each workbench makes knowledge transfer easy. More advanced workbenches for airplanes and power systems combine multiple components together.
Registering to use the calculator is not required and it can even be run from your own website free of charge.
