This Memorandum Report is a User's Manual for a set of four Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet models for tactical fixed-wing aircraft design and sensitivities. A sizing model utilizes input requirements such as take-off and landing distances, mission radius, and combat turn rate to determine the wing size, engine thrust, empty weight, and gross weight of the aircraft. Two other models investigate off-design range payload and maneuverability performance. The fourth model estimates the RDT&E, acquisition, and procurement costs.
