Interesting Eric. But this is America, and I've learned that if at all possible in your personal and business life, it is to one's benefit to avoid lawyers. "Wrong" or right never seems to have anything to do with truth or the outcome of a trial.
I don't want to overload the list on this subject, if you guys want the program - buy the book!

And copyright protects profit, not copying.  And fair use applies.

So a lawsuit might happen, but it would be wrong.

The "algorithms" aren't that simple and I don't
      

want to take the
    

time to
try to put it in a form to upload to this forum.
      

The program is
    

based on
blade element theory which you can probably find
      

in many textbooks,
    

and
if you wanted to, you could make your own program
      

from scratch that
    

would do the same thing as this program. If I
      

uploaded the program
    

itself, that would surely be copyright infringement.

Anyway, if you get the book, you also get to read
      

about all the
    

underlying theory.

Oops!  My bad.  You didn't write new code, you
copied code that was in the book.  Yeah, uploading
that WOULD place you at the bad end of a lawsuit.

The book will be here in a couple days, and then
I'll have one more airplane project that I can work on.
