Dr. Hanley's Aerodynamics Suite.

Teachers, Welcome to Dr. Hanley's Aerodynamics Suite!
We are pleased to announce our comprehensive scientific lessons and virtual labs for k-12 and higher education. We provide software and services that will transform your classroom into an exciting aerodynamics lab for inciting  curiosity, learning and scientific discovery. Our software offers a unique approach whereby students can gain intuition and experience in the exciting world of aerodynamics. They will apply the identical tools used by industrial and academic professionals to solve new and interesting problems.

Aerodynamics Suite-Online
Dr. Hanley's easy-to-use software allows students to test and understand the behavior of airfoils and airplane wings right on their classroom PCs. With just a few mouse clicks, students can design a wing that is capable of supporting a jet airliner in flight. They can also use the same software to design, test and construct a model airplane wing for a hands-on project. The Aerodynamics Suite can be used for science fairs, airplane and race car design competitions, marine design and turbomachinery applications.

Dr. Hanley's Aerodynamic Suite is a complete package that contains libraries of many popular airfoils. Students and teachers will not have to waste valuable instructional time obtaining the perfect wing for their project. Students can experiment with custom shapes in addition to those now currently used in the aircraft, automobile and marine industries. Aerodynamics Suite provides all the information necessary for students to make critical design and construction decisions for their project. The software accurately compute the airfoil's lift, drag and moment coefficients and simulate the behavior of aerodynamic surfaces near stall.

About Dr. Hanley
Dr. Patrick E. Hanley, is the owner and founder of Hanley Innovations, a small business specializing in the development of aerodynamics and fluid dynamics simulation software for education and industry. Dr. Hanley earned his B.S. degree (summa cum laude) in aerospace engineering from Polytechnic Institute of New York and his S.M. and Ph.D. degrees from the department of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He also completed a minor in the area of management of innovation and technology at MIT's Sloan School of Management.

After graduating from MIT, Dr. Hanley joined the Mechanical Engineering faculty at the University of Connecticut where he formulated and taught courses in aerodynamics, compressible fluids, introductory fluid mechanics and heat transfer. As a faculty member, he won the highly competitive National Science Foundation Research Initiation Award, the NASA-ASEE Summer Faculty Fellowship and three consecutive research awards from NASA Lewis Research center to study compressible viscous flows in turbomachinery using pseudospectral methods. This research led to the successful education of four (4) Ph.D students and four (4) Masters degree students. In addition Dr. Hanley can be credited with a number of publications including the pioneering work in multi-domain pseudospectral methods for compressible viscous flows entitled "A Strategy for the Efficient Simulation of Viscous Compressible Flows using a Multi-domain Pseudospectral Method" which can be found in Journal of Computational Physics, Vol 108, No. 1, pp. 153-158, September 1993.

As owner and chief software author of Hanley Innovations, Dr. Hanley has written a number of software packages including AirfoilBrowser,  Airfoil Organizer, Science Graphs, VisualFoil, ModelFoil, Aerodynamics in Plain English, Center of Gravity Calculator, WingAnalysis, SmockSoft, PerpeturalPaper amongst other titles.
