[Resources] OpenVSP Airshow is Live! (aircraft 3D model repository)

Post by u2fly »

:idea: OpenVSP — is an open-source 3D CAD software for aircraft (and spacecraft) design and analyzing developed at NASA LARC.
OpenVSP wrote:OpenVSP Airshow is Live! Sure to be a crowd pleaser, I am thrilled to announce the new OpenVSP Airshow! The Airshow is the place to go to show off your OpenVSP models. It is an entirely re-written replacement for the now defunct OpenVSP Hangar.

All of the v3 models on the Hangar have been ported over to the Airshow.
For those unaware of OpenVSP Hangar (or VSP Hangar, as file format is *.vsp3), it was an online community repository with many OpenVSP models, free to download. Few years ago VSP Hangar has been closed without any backups provided. Good that all models now are restored.

OpenVSP is able to export mesh and CAD formats, supported by Blender and FreeCAD, so could be useful for YS addons making or just for aircraft design and research its characteristics in CFD simulation.

What a neat program. The analysis tools look super handy for custom-designed aircraft
