OPTION II: This new AeroPack Tutorial will help the CAD user understand and utilize the diverse and powerful airplane specific drawing tools made available in AeroPack. The AeroPack Tutorial contains two modules that illustrate how to build and analyze an aircraft model using AeroPack:
The first module contains videos that demonstrate the use and capabilities of each AeroPack tool. This allows the user to learn exactly what each AeroPack tool does and how to use it.
The second module is a step-by-step video instruction on how our own engineers might use the AeroPack tools to create a business jet. This module demonstrates methods used to create fuselages, lifting surfaces, nacelles, doors and windows.
