There is a new Software released, based on the vortex lattice method.
Ulf Lehnert, the guy who made it, put it under GNU General Public License, so its for free. :)
It's not yet thoroughly tested, but seems to work very well.
Operation is via command line, but rather simple, there are not to much commands.
The geometric data of the model is to be put into an input file.
Winglets are possible and any number of wings, e.g. canards, biplanes, triplanes, etc.
I don't have any experience with other vortex lattice software like e.g. AVL or Lifting Line, but I actually like XWing for its simplicity.

(FYI, 'Beispiele' means examples of input files)
