RE: Pattern airframe design theory and discussion
If anyone has access to Lockheed or Northrop/Grumman software I have access to a super computer (really).
In all seriousness, personal experience and "feel" are very important. Clarence (Kelly) Johnson, could tell you from "feel" whether a design parameter was correct - from an airfoil to an engine intake duct.
Not trying to be a smart a*&. Just trying to encourage all types of input and discussion.
Best regards and good flying,
