Thanks John, I will take you up on your offer to pass along the code :-) > > There are a couple of websites sponsored by NASA on turbine modeling and > you might check out John Reed's site and papers at > http://memslab.eng.utoledo.edu/~jreed/jgts/ > > Modeling all the details and intricacies of a turbine engine can be a > career, OTH a more complete turbine model for FG would be a plus.
