from Wing Designer by John Rogers
Wing Designer computes aircraft performance measures from wing and engine parameters.

Main.m
% Main function to run Wing Designer
% Keywords: airfoil, wing design, vortex lattice, NACA 4-digit 5-digit
% copyright 2007 by Phillip J. Root and John R Rogers 
%
% Wing Designer is used to predict aircraft cruising performance.
% One-time preprocessing is required to create or to update 
% NACAdata.txt  the airfoil data--see the AirfoilData folder.
% Aircraft  design parameters are taken from a graphical user interface.
% Range is computed and constitutes the largest component of a performance
% score.
