Easy-to-Use 'Wind Tunnel' Simulation Software
MultiSurface Aerodynamics is the leading computer aided engineering (CAE) tool that provides rapid three-dimensional (3D) aerodynamics analysis simultaneously with the design process. It is a unique software package that enables you to predict the aerodynamics performance of wings and hydrofoils during the design phase of your project. This eliminates the costly and time consuming cut and try cycle of product development. Moreover, the software provides accurate data that allows you to develop your wing or hydrofoil to meet or exceed your product's performance specifications.  MultiSurface Aerodynamics is alone in its ability to accurately compute lift, maximum lift, induced & profile drag for a 3D wing system in just seconds on a PC. MultiSurface Aerodynamics was developed by Patrick Hanley, Ph.D. for accuracy, efficiency and ease of use.

Accurate Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Solvers
MultiSurface Aerodynamics uses a vortex-lattice method (based on vortex rings) to provide an ideal trade-off between accuracy and speed for 3D analysis; a linear strength vortex panel methods for airfoil analysis; a novel solution of the ordinary differential equation form of the boundary layer equation for computing profile drag.
