drawDATCOMaircraft

drawDATCOMaircraft generates an aircraft's thre view drawings from given DATCOM input files.

DATCOM has been widely used for preliminary estimation of an aircraft's aerodynamic coeficients and its stability derivatives. Given an aircraft configuration declared in an ASCI text file, DATCOM will easily provide the estimation of the aircraft's aerodynamic coeficients and its stability derivatives for given atmospheric condition. Unfortunately, since the input for DATCOM is a text file, it is quite hard to check whether the aircraft configuration declared in it is correct and the same with the design to be evaluated. Thus, to accomodate this problem, drawDATCOMaircraft was created. drawDATCOMaircraft reads aircraft configuration parameters from DATCOM input file and generates aircraft's three view drawings based on it. From these drawings, hopefully it will be easier to check the input file before using DATCOM to process it.
