Aeronauty

Useful tools for awkward engineering questions.

A working notebook of aerospace demos, curve-fitting arguments, solver experiments, and the occasional story about choosing the right abstraction before the wrong one costs everyone a week.

Current bias

Make the model visible, then argue with it honestly.

Flight physics

Stability, performance, aero data

Interfaces

Interactive tools over static slides

Optimization

Trade spaces, routing, decisions

Writing

Technical judgment in public

Start here

Projects are the point. Writing is the record of the argument.

The site is split deliberately: working tools and demos live under projects; essays and technical stories live under writing. Some things are public, some are in the lab while they are still half-built.

A small site, but not a neutral one.

I like engineering tools that reveal their assumptions. I dislike plots that hide bad fits behind smooth lines. Most of the work here follows from those two preferences.

If something looks unfinished, it probably is. That is better than pretending every useful thought arrives fully polished.
