TL;DR
Software for aircraft engine design
Good day

I am looking for a software called AEDsys.exe. This (AED stands for aircraft engine design) SW was created by Jack Mattingly years ago. It is the backbone of the computations involved in his wonderful book “Aircraft Engine Design” ( authors Jack Mattingly, William Heiser, David Pratt ).

The point of this SW is to save a lot of necessary computations in the complex equations describing real turbojet engines today. If you do all that manually you have to waste a LOT of time and mistakes can pop up very easily !!!

I wanted to get it from Mattingly Consulting site, but the site is gone now and I cannot find any way to buy this SW... Does anyone know where to find this software ? Thank you for any pointers.

Good day. Yes and no ! I went to that Informer Tech link already 15 days ago while searching for this and none of the links there lead anywhere. It looks like the site is gone, probably because Mattingly Consulting does not exist anymore, I am not sure... But thank you anyway !

It doesn't work if you click on download from the link @Baluncore posted? It works for me.
 
Wow.. After you said you could dload it, I had the idea of removing my VPN setup and ... it worked then. I have no idea why the VPN messes this. It never crossed my mind it could be anything like that until you tried successfully, so it had to be then something IT-wise, and not what I had assumed .. Thank you again and have a nice day !!!
