Long long ago, people had the dream to fly like a bird. In 1903, Wright brothers realized this dream for the first time. Now, there are many kinds of aircraft flying in the air. Traveling by plane is a normal way in the current time.
But people's dreams never stand. In 1969, human beings landed on the moon. After that, people never stopped their steps to other planets and satellites. Different from the moon, on most planets and some satellites, there are atmospheres, so that we can imagine that one day our aircrafts will fly in these atmospheres.
To plan a flight on one planet or satellite, we have to know many things about that celestrial body and the atmosphere, like the gravity, the components of the air, the pressure (height)-temperature profile of the atmosphere, viscosity, density, and so on. Also, we have to decide which kind of airfoil shape we can use and the velocity of flight in the atmosphere. In this game, we provide a simple way to show the flight status in the atmosphere. You can choose which planet or satellite you want to go, the airfoil shape you want to use and the velocity of your flight. Then, our simulation will show you the airflow near the airfoil. This is a simple example of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
