Really enjoyed chatting to Tim from @avian earlier this week. Their use of #python #freecad #openfoam and #openvsp is pretty amazing and creates fantastic flying machines! Check out the writeup on the @FreeCAD blog. https://blog.freecad.org/2024/07/30/forged-in-freecad-avian-hang-gliders/

Anyway guys don't underestimate #OpenVSP for #propellers is very great applications where you can access to many parameters that define a blade. take a look in this brief introduction. #airplane #turbine #ship #boat
