The USAF Digital DATCOM application or DigiDat as it is sometimes reffered to, is a program written in FORTRAN that calculates  a given aircrafts stability and control coefficients.  Further information on the software can be found in our software section.

In this section you will find a a variety of resources which we have compiled that will aid everyone from a beginner to a seasoned veteran of this wonderful tool.  It should be noted that a variety of these resources can be applied to the original DATCOM, Datcom+, OpenDatcom, or the DR2 prototype software packages.

DATCOM is a collection of documents containing all anyone would need to analyse and calculate the stability and control of a given aircraft.  Digital DATCOM is actually just a program version of all these documents.  The documents feature a multitude of useful graphs, figures,  and formulas that are widely used and accepted today. DATCOM is an invaluable resource in aeronautical engineering and by many is considered the bible of aircraft stability and control analysis.

The DATCOM collection is quite daunting in size and information (over 1400 pages) and is not for the faint of heart.  There are formulas and charts for a variety of aircraft configurations which can be used extensively for preliminary conceptual design or analysis.
