Benchmark makes it possible to model the performance of an engine, a propeller, and an airplane and then fly the plane in any flight conditions to assess performance and efficiency. It handles all of the standard calculations used in performance flight testing and analysis and, at the end, generates performance charts (including CAFE 400). A fully-modeled F.8L Falco airplane is available for use with the beta.
What's New
Version 2.0b14:
MPG charts changed to Fuel Economy. Now combines MPG with CAFE scores, and added wind controls. See Performance Charts for full details.
There are some minor problems still remaining with printing the CAFE scores. We expect to get this fixed in the near future. Stay tuned.
Added climb chart for time, distance and fuel. Please note that this chart will now print, just like the MPG charts.
Changed for minimum required OS 10.6.
Completely reworked Atmospherics Calculator for better graphics, to use Benchmark preferences for unit values and to provide a way to convert between TAS and IAS both ways. Pressures are given in mbar, however please note that the pressure values can be selected and copied, and then you can use the Units Calculator to convert the pressures to other unit values.
