SHARPy: Simulation of High-Aspect-Ratio aircraft in Python

SHARPy (we pronounce it SHARP-EYE, of course!) is an open-source nonlinear simulation and analysis package for coupled structural (flexible multibody) and unsteady aerodynamic modelling. We use it now mostly for coupled aeroelastic/flight dynamics analysis of low-speed very flexible aircraft and in the past also for dynamics of bottom-fixed and floating wind turbines. It also generates reduced-order models for control design and can be run . See document below for full features or the short description in .
