I would look at the JSBSim source code where the calcs are done. You would also have the option of writing/rewriting portions of the code to better meet your project's objectives; e.g. determine lift at several points on the wing, determining downwash, announcing flow seperation, etc, etc. JW ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
