Public Domain Aeronautical Software (PDAS)

For many years the Air Force, Navy, NASA and educational institutions have sponsored the development of computer software that is useful to aeronautical engineers, airplane designers, and aviation technicians. Public Domain Aeronautical Software was founded to make this treasure house of valuable software available to the aeronautical community at an easily affordable price for use on desktop computers. These programs include complete public domain source code, descriptions, and sample cases (both input and output). All of the programs come ready to execute under Windows and most of the programs have Macintosh and Linux executables. All of this is available to you on the CD-ROM Public Domain Computer Programs for the Aeronautical Engineer. The source code is not copyrighted and may used in whole or in part in any of your aeronautical studies. Most were developed under NASA or DOD sponsorship, but some are contributions from individual authors and all have significant value added by PDAS.
