Popis:	The results of a computational fluid dynamics analysis of three prominent World War II fighter aircraft, the Supermarine Spitfire, North American P-51 Mustang and Focke Wulf Fwl90 are presented. The goal of this analysis was to learn the strengths and weaknesses inherent in the aerodynamics of these aircraft. Design features covered include comparisons of the wing designs and calculated total wetted areas along with a look at specific details of the aerodynamics of each aircraft. This information, while historical, still has relevance in today's world of aircraft design.
