| With this software you can investigate how an
aircraft wing produces lift by changing the values of
different factors that affect lift. To return to the original
default conditions, click the red Reset button at the
left middle of the program. If you
experience difficulties when using the sliders to change
variables, simply click away from the slider and then back to
it. If
the arrows on the end of the sliders disappear, click in the
areas where the left and right arrow images should appear, and
they should reappear. |

With
this software you can investigate how a turbine (or jet)
engine produces thrust by changing the values of different
engine parameters.
There are a variety of choices which you
must make regarding the analysis and the display of results by
using a choice box. A choice box has a descriptive word
displayed and an arrow at the right of the box. To make a
choice, click on the arrow, hold down and drag to make your
selection. The current values of the design variables are
presented to you in boxes. By convention, a white box with
black numbers is an input box and you can change the value of
the number. A black box with yellow or red numbers is an
output box and the value is computed by the program. To change
the value in an input box, select the box by moving the cursor
into the box and clicking the mouse, then backspace over the
old number, enter a new number, then hit the Enter key
on your keyboard. You must hit Enter to send the new value
to the program. For most input variables you can also use
a slider located next to the input box. Click on the slider
bar, hold down and drag the slider bar to change values, or
you can click on the arrows at either end of the slider. If
you experience difficulties when using the sliders to change
variables, simply click away from the slider and then back to
it. If
the arrows on the end of the sliders disappear, click in the
areas where the left and right arrow images should appear, and
they should reappear. At any time, to return to the original
default conditions, click the red Reset button at the
upper right of the program.
