Hello eveyrone. This is my first post here! From what I've seen so far, this forum is absolutely wonderful!
By trade, I'm an Air Traffic Controller who started life as a pilot... weird huh?? I still fly when I can, but I'm in Italy now so I'm pretty much grounded until I get back to the states.
But to the point of the post:
While I'm here, I program flight dynamics for Microsoft Flight Sim and one of the most important inputs is the lift curve. Unfortuneately, I haven't found too much information on airframe-specific numbers. I've looked through the sticky at the top of this forum and didn't see anything jump out at me. Although I could probably spend a whole day surfing from that thread. :)
Does anyone know where I would be able to find lift curves for airliners? Or perhaps CL0 or CL Max information? Basically anything that I could use to construct the Lift Curve and get it in the right section of the right ballpark would be extremely helpful.
Again, thanks to all who've made and maintain this forum. I'm going to enjoy surfing here.
Take care,
Scott
