No
Tom Benson's applets attempt to mediate much more information than any applet can handle. I have tried to write applets many a time and eventually the toolkit fails to deliver. So I think the answer is a no. I teach my university students fluid mechanics, thermodynamics of propulsion and computer programming and for a spell away from flying I worked for one of your favourite engine manufacturers. Sometimes an applet will hit the nail on the head but that isn't grounds for extrapolating the success to other instances. The other thing I have against applets is the time and effort they can consume when a higher degree of accuracy can be achieved quicker and with an accessible set of instructions using an ordinary computer. But there again one of my most succesful students chose a desktop flightsim for his honours thesis instead of some grand engineering conundrum. Not only did it make the marketplace but I have to concede it's quite good and the cheeky humour of such a project did get him a place within a "proper" simulator company. That's one in the eye for me and one up for him so I may be a grouchy OF.
