Science Demonstrate an understanding of scientific inquiry.
Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship among motions and forces. Mathematics Use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions, equations, and inequalities. FoilSim is an interactive simulation software package that examines the airflow around various shapes of airfoils. As you change parameters such as airspeed, altitude, angle of attack, thickness and curvature of the airfoil, and size of the wing area, the software calculates the lift. The package was created at NASA Glenn Research Center to demonstrate the type of research conducted there.
