what design software do you use or have heard being used for light aircraft design? I am a EE, computer fluent and a pilot. I have the urge to investigate the design of a plane I saw pictured long ago - how to validate/update the design. Old data not available.
 
Have you heard about X-PLANE flight simulator? <br>
(<A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> It allows you to design your<br>
own aircraft and fly them as they really would <br>
fly, as an engineering model, supposedly precice<br>
enough to build a prototype around. Of course<br>
there are many other programs to design aircraft<br>
with but I would start with this and see how far <br>
I got with it. Bart
