Version 4.26 available with new propeller features

What’s Changed

Modeling and Analysis

> Improved Propeller optimization demo model
> Demo propellers now correctly show sweep and dihedral
> Analysis (including optimizations) use all available cores by default
> Demo wings and props use CMAES Optimizer by default

Fidelity

> Improved fidelity and robustness through Rankine core model on vortex filaments
> Aerodynamic center computed for all angles of attack
> Atmospheric model adopts ISO 2533:1975: International Standard Atmosphere

New features

> Extended propeller results and plots, e.g. Figure of merit, local lift coefficient
> Propeller torque optimization constraint

Bugfixes

> Source panels nearfield formula
> Estimation of required memory
> Links pointing to the new website
> And many minor fixes…
