    why aircraft weight has so big difference between landing and takeoff?

    Hello everyone: During searching for some information, I found out that the maximum takeoff weight and maximum landing weight are so different for an aircraft? take an example for A380: Maximum takeoff weight 560 tonnes Maximum landing weight 386 tonnes So if A380 takeoff with 560 tonnes...

    Help- How the values for tails will become after wing interaction

    Hello guys: After the air flowing past the wing of an aircraft, the flow will hit the horizontal tail and vertical tail. I am wandering how the angle of attack and free stream velocity will change? How much of the values I should use for the tails? Thanks a lot. :) Lisa

    why I can not use "Surface plot"

    Dear all: If I click the "surface plot", the CPU will run to 100%, and then Mathcad is closed suddenly. I tried it in an empty sheet, it happened again! I do not want to reinstall it, because I need to tell the Administrator what happened and then....and then.....It will take a long time...

    Which software I should use to draw wing geometry graphs?

    Hi guys: I think all of you have seen the books: Fundamentals of Aerodynamcis(Anderson) and Low Speed Aerodynamcis(Kats). If anybody here know that how to draw a graph like the graphs (x,y,z coordinates, angles, wing geometry...) in these books? Which software I should use? Many thanks!
