Aeronautical Engineer Student
I am an Aeronautical Engineer Student and my professor has tasked me with creating as many realistic airplanes in X-Planes as possible. The only problem is that I am having trouble finding any information that will help me. If anyone can help me find FCOM,QRF,FCTM, or anything please pm or email at jnbauder07 (At) Gmail . com

Engineers read codes; look at FAR 25 and AC-25A,...if you want to be realsitic,...
if you plan for an novel planform...Theory of wing sections by Ira Abbott and Vandoenhoff,...will help you to predict cetain key airfoil characteristics them model it [CATIA/MATHCAD/ auto CAD.........]....I think after ONE -X-plane you and your professor will be actually ready for retirement
'cuz if you've projected to the 'zeta plane' once you've projected thereto a million and one times already
PS start imagining first
