VORLAX results

Solver-reported stability-axis coefficients. CDi is induced drag.

Attached-flow potential predictions; the sweep does not predict stall or separated flow at high angles.

Moment reference defaults to the takeoff CG projected onto Y=0. Default sweep: −10° to 24° in 1° steps (35 cases), automatically batched for the native solver. Each run also evaluates Mach 0.1–2.0 in 0.1 steps at β = 0° and α = −2°, 0°, +2° to show neutral-point travel.

Source and native solver setup

Windows helper includes Python and the native solver. Mac helper requires Python 3.10+ and GNU Fortran, and compiles the included source on first launch. Cloud VPS uses the hosted solver and needs no download.

Setup and model details

Analysis model and limits

Enabled wing, tails, strakes, winglets and additional lifting surfaces; multi-section wings and blended strakes are sampled into trapezoids.
The fuselage top-down profile is shown as an amber reference outline in the preview. Fuselage loads, inlets and engines are excluded from the lifting-surface solve.
NACA camber uses equivalent zero-lift incidence. Explicit camber shape and control deflections are not modeled.
Symmetric aircraft; centerline moment reference. Attached-flow potential analysis, Mach 0–2.0. Transonic shocks and separation are not modeled. No viscous drag or stall prediction.

Completed plot data and coefficients are saved under VorView in the opening JETcentral aircraft JSON. Keep Main open to receive results. Native logs and input decks are separate downloads. This browser interface is JETcentral's VORVIEW-style front end. The original desktop VORVIEW GUI is not bundled.
