Patrick Egan

Mach-Up, a free, web-based design tool was recently released to assist developers and engineers in the conceptual design phases of airframe design.

Check it out here: www.mach-up.com

It’s interface was designed to allow developers the ability to quickly create mock-ups for trade studies. As evidence, the homepage demonstrates designing a flying wing in 1 minute. Because it is web-based, no software download or installation is required, and designs can be shared and viewed by collaborators.

Key features include:

– Detailed wing and propeller geometries

– Ability to interface with other CAD software

– Material and lighting options to create realistic graphics

– Protected data and designs

Mach-Up is fully compatible with Windows, Mac, and Android. Basic features are available for iOS users.
