BAD-Web (Basic Aircraft Design Web) is an

by the Systems Analysis Branch of NASA Ames
Research Center. "We operate BAD-Web to
give some rudimentary insight into the art
and science of aircraft design. While we have
purposely limited the scope of BAD-Web to
ensure quick results, it should demonstrate
the kind of trade-offs and decisions that
aircraft designers face on a daily basis.
These types of studies and analyses are just
one facet of what we do in our Branch."
