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.
