About

Pinky is a Java applet that calculates the coefficients on an airfoil. I wrote this applet for a aerodynamics class while I was an aerospace graduate student. Information on the delta wing airfoil comes from the separate classes (Narf, QSP and QSP-Hi Res). Other classes for different airfoils can be created and added to the airfoil choice box. The entered Mach number must be greater than one. To transfer DCp matrix to a spreadsheet, copy it to a text file then load it as a csv format spreadsheet. The calculations are based on method in Chapter 11.7.2 of Aerodynamics for Engineers 3rd Ed. by John J. Berton and Michael L. Smith.
