avl is Aerodynamic and flight-dynamic analysis of rigid aircrafts

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install avl on Fedora 34.

What is `avl`

AVL is a program for the aerodynamic and flight-dynamic analysis of rigid aircraft of arbitrary configuration. It employs an extended vortex lattice model for the lifting surfaces, together with a slender-body model for fuselages and nacelles. General nonlinear flight states can be specified. The flight dynamic analysis combines a full linearization of the aerodynamic model about any flight state, together with specified mass properties.
