Has anyone seen this before? It seems to be both a super-duper flight
simulator, AND an aerodynamics design tool. Apparently, they've done some
pretty severe engineering math in the code, so it's good for designing actual
airfoils, wings, etc.

In fact, it's actually been in use by at least one company to design real
planes.

Might be a cool tool for designing static-hulled airships...
