MATLAB Aerodynamics package based on Vortex Lattice Method

Overview of Project

This project aims at designing an application using the MATLAB App Designer which solves the Vortex Lattice Method application under subsonic condition of aircraft upon entering basic design parameters of the aircraft. The end product of this application is a detailed view of the lift distribution and pressure gradients at different locations of wing spans. Along with this, the application has a wing optimizer which enables to tweak the wings such that it would be able to achieve an approximate elliptical lift distribution on either side of fuselage.

Software Used
