Mean Aerodynamic Chord.

by Jean-Claude Etiemble.

     

   Jean-Claude Etiemble is a modeler from "l'Aéroclub de ROUEN NORMANDIE, France", and designs his own gliders.

   In order to rate and trim his models, he developed a simple soft computing the mean aerodynamic chord on a multi panel wing, and locating the centre of lift.
   Moreover, this soft computes all the main characteristics of the wing area.

   Just notice that with 5 panels available, you can get very close to an elliptical wing : Ellipse owners will thank JC Etiemble for avoiding headeach in calculating CG !!!!!

This soft works with Windows 95, 98 and NT4, and was compiled with Visual Basic 5.0.

This soft is of course a Freeware. Don't hesitate to report bugs to its writter !
