Development of an interactive display for the Smithsonian Institution's How Things Fly gallery illustrating fundamental aerodynamic principles associated with flight is described. Results from Reynolds-average Navier-Stokes simulations of various airfoil geometries and flight conditions are presented in a graphics-based interactive display implemented on an Intel 486/Pentium-class personal computer. This interactive display is one mechanism used to demonstrate basic aerodynamic principles to museum visitors in this new gallery within the National Air and Space Museum. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
