Module Overview

The three modules below cover the core functionality of the aerodemo package:

• aerodemo.naca_airfoil — NACA 4- and 5-digit airfoil geometry and thin-airfoil theory

• aerodemo.vlm — Vortex Lattice Method solver for finite wings

• aerodemo.openvsp_utils — OpenVSP geometry creation and VSPAero analysis helpers
