+OpenVSP is a parametric aircraft geometry tool. OpenVSP allows the
+user to create a 3D model of an aircraft defined by common engineering
+parameters. This model can be processed into formats suitable for
+engineering analysis.
+
+The predecessors to OpenVSP have been developed by J.R. Gloudemans and
+others for NASA since the early 1990's. On January 10 2012, OpenVSP
+was released as an open source project under the NASA Open Source
+Agreement (NOSA) version 1.3.
+
+You can download sample aircraft at http://hangar.openvsp.org.
