#+TITLE: Aircraft Studio

This program enables the creation of NACA airfoils;
the analysis of the airfoil's structural properties;
the optimization via genetic algorithm of a population of airfoils;
With the final objective of designing a lightweight FAR 23 compliant airfoil.
I adapted it from my own code for the UCLA MAE 154B final project (Spring 2019).
* Program Structure
** =creator.py=
This module enables the creation of discrete aircraft components.
** =evaluator.py=
** =generator.py=
The =generator= module contains classes describing aircrafts comprised
of sufficient =creator= components that they can be fed to the =evaluator=
for useful analysis.
* Program Flow
1. Create an =evaluator= object
2. Populate the =evaluator= with aircrafts by either:
1. Using =generator= methods to create an aircraft from a template
2. Using =creator= to manually describe all aircraft components
3. Use =evaluator= methods to:
1. Calculate relevant aircraft properties
2. Set desired optimization parameter(s)
3. Execute the genetic algoritm and return an optimized aircraft
