Corrections and Improvements to the Interactive Computer Program for the Survivability Evaluation of Aircraft Conceptual Designs (VISAP)

摘要

A computer program for assessing the survivability of fixed wing aircraft in the conceptual design phase was developed at the naval Postgraduate School by Ball and Hesser in 1982. The program was called VISAP (Vought Interactive Survivability Assessment Program). This thesis presents corrections and improvements made to VISAP by the author. These corrections and improvements include improved efficiency and friendliness of the program from the user's viewpoint, enhanced output, and the incorporation of graphics to aid in the assessment and evaluation of aircraft conceptual design.
