The Wright Brothers— flight-sim— Hooven's model |

 |
The details and thinking behind Frederick Hooven's computer simulation of the Wright Flyer can be found in the reference below. Using data derived from wind tunnel testing of scale models, Hooven developed a dynamic simulation written in Dartmouth BASIC. The original program was not intended for real-time use, but has been converted to run within a web browser. |
