CPACS Viewer

Load a CPACS aircraft definition and inspect its wing and fuselage geometry as an interactive 3D model.

No CPACS file loaded. Choose an XML/CPACS file, drop one into the viewer, or load the demonstration aircraft.

Positions use the coordinates stored in CPACS (normally metres). The cut is intentionally uncapped so back-facing and internal surfaces remain visible.

Supported CPACS geometry: point-list wing airfoils and fuselage profiles, section and element transformations, positionings, segment UID connections, parent-component transformations, and symmetry planes. CST-only and externally linked profile files require preprocessing with TiGL/TiXI and are listed as geometry notes. Use the section plane to inspect the generated lofts; visible back-facing surfaces are orange.
