AFS is
an Aerodynamics and Flight
Simulator running on a PC dos in
SVGA (1024x768) mode.
AFS is an integrated set of tools used to create,
edit and
check aerodynamics aircraft model and to train to flight
navigation.Its user interface is based on a graphical windowing
system and use the keyboard and the mouse to interact with the
user.

functions , see also download section.
- 1/ The aerodynamic
section
- Permit to select
aerodynamics
properties of your airplane and
to tailor it to your needs.This section also contains the
build
function (sizing, stress
analysis, etc...) that permit to check that technologies used to
achieve both aerodynamics and structural goals are within
possibilities.
- It also permit to chose engine type
:prop, recip, electric, jet, ramjet, turbofan, etc.The
Panel
editor is used to design panel
for JET/PROP from 1 to 4 engines in SVGA
- mode (1024x768x256)
-
- 2/ The preflight
section
- Permit to choose
airplane,
to set weather,

section
- Permit to view and analyze
recorded flight and check that flight path was within limitations
imposed, it also permit to compare with an other flight and to
reposition the airplane with different parameters (altitude,
velocity, etc.)
