... ContinuedMcMaster SAE Aerospace Team – It’s About Teamwork
McMaster University SAE Aerospace Team (MAST) Hamilton, Ontario, Canada competed in SAE AERO Design EAST 2024 in Lakeland, Florida, USA. The SOLIDWORKS EDU team got a chance to visit with MAST. We also received a great thank you note and
... ContinuedAero Design Series – Airplane Stability Playlist
Seven videos are up on airplane stability! Ever wonder why aiplanes have stabilizers on the aft of the tail? How do they work? Why are they there? Where does the center of gravity of the aircraft relative to the wings
... ContinuedAero Design Series – Airplane Stability – Part 1: Introduction
In this 1st video in a series on airplane stability, we introduce the concepts that we’ll cover. We continue where we left off in the series on airfoils. Using SolidWorks for model demonstrations, we get a feel for the forces
... ContinuedAero Design Series – Airfoils – Part 4: Physical Interpretation of Coefficient of Moment
In this 4th video in a series of 4 about airfoils, we search for a physical understanding and interpretation of the coefficient of moment “Cm” of airfoils. This parameter is often confusing to grasp at first, but a physical understanding
... ContinuedAero Design Series – Airfoils – Part 3: Interpreting Cl and Cd
In the first 2 videos about airfoils we have imported airfoil curves into SolidWorks from airfoiltools.com. In the 3rd and 4th videos in the series of 4 we delve into physical interpretations of the performance parameters of airfoils. In this
... ContinuedAero Design Series – Airfoils – Part 2: Importing Airfoils Into Solidworks
In this 2nd video in a series of 4 about airfoils, we cover various methods to import airfoils into SolidWorks in order to design the parts and assemblies of your aircraft.
... ContinuedAero Design Series – Airfoils – Part 1: Introduction – What is an Airfoil?
In this 1st video in a series of 4 about airfoils, we approach the question: what is an airfoil? How do we use them for designing aircraft in SolidWorks?
