The first link is dead. Aircraft Design Projects for Engineering Students This is a pretty neat on line text book I found a while back, more or less a collection of examples for senior design projects. For those that are interested in historical engineering, www.archive.org has several textbooks from about 1910 to the mid 1920's available for down load. A couple are good engineering texts, and a couple are  ; there are obvious fingerprints of the search for the path. In any case, the information is important for understanding where we've been. |

That can be a fun program for those that want to play with fun 3D sketches, but it's capable of far more and getting more capable. The advanced features don't relieve the user of competence in the art and engineering. |
Keep your powder dry, and watch your back trail.
