Ptera Software

Open Source Unsteady Aerodynamics

About five years ago, I become utterly obsessed with biological flight. However, after searching the library, online forums, and the brains of my professors, I wasn't able to find a fast, easy-to-use, and free tool for simulating flapping wings. So I decided to write one! Introducing my first open-source project: Ptera Software. I'm hoping it can spur the aerospace engineering community's interest and understanding of unsteady aerodynamics.
