RdsStudent: Software for Aircraft Design, Sizing and Performance, Version 4.2

A powerful learning tool, RDSSTUDENT lets students apply everything they learnas they learn it. The software package includes comprehensive modules for aerodynamics, weights, propulsion, aircraft data file, sizing and mission analysis, cost analysis, design layout, and performance analysis, including takeoff, landing, rate of climb, Ps, fs, turn rate, and acceleration. RDSSTUDENT also provides graphical output for drag polars, L/D ratio, thrust curves, flight envelope, range parameter, and other data.RDSSTUDENT runs on any IBMPC compatible system with at least 512K memory, but is slower on 286 processors or below, particularly for design graphics. RDSSTUDENT runs on any IBMPC compatible system running Windows or DOS. A 90page users guide accompanies the software, which is available on CDROM.
