The Structural Weight Estimation +Program for Aircraft (SWEEP) was originally implemented in FORTRAN. The +source code for this program is no longer publicly available, but +the US Defence Technical Information Center has published all the original +documentation from Rockwell (which is extensive). + +This project aims to meet the same objectives as SWEEP: devlop analytical +computer programs capable of predicting the weight of aircraft structural +components suitable for use during the conceptual phase of the aircraft +design cycle. It builds a very high level of fidelity in the weight +estimates, with flexiblity to a plethora of design variables. All of this +is predominantly derived from fundamental structural methods, or historically +predicated empirical formulas. + ## Features - TODO diff --git a/pyproject.toml b/pyproject.toml index d406d40..719fb2b 100644 --- a/pyproject.toml +++ b/pyproject.toml @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ [tool.poetry] name = "hyperstruct" -version = "0.0.0" +version = "0.0.1" description = "Hyperstruct" authors = ["Benjamin Crews "] license = "MIT"
