The ESDU Aircraft Performance Program is a suite of programs to
predict the performance of an aircraft design for which appropriate
aerodynamic and powerplant data are available.
The programs are written in ANSI FORTRAN and are supplied as
compiled executable binary (*.EXE) files for use under any 32-bit
or 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system.
The suite of programs uses SI units internally. The user has the
option to provide input in other sets of units or in mixtures of
units. Output is in units compatible with the user input.
The user can specify the input data either as constant values or
as tables of data varying with a range of possible variables.
Engine performance data can be accepted for several sets of jets
and propellers having different performance per engine in each set.
It is assumed that the engine data are applicable to
"fully-installed" conditions (i.e. the data have been corrected,
for example, for intake spillage, base drag and aerodynamic
interferences) but provision is made for additional thrust factors
and incremental aerodynamic effects which can be functions of
engine-dependent variables.
The suite accepts both untrimmed and trimmed aerodynamic data.
Routines are provided for trimming both conventional aft-tailed and
canard designs.
