G'Day all,

I'm looking for a decent CAD program that I can use to model a few designs I have on paper. Ideally, the sort of program I'd like would be:

a) Easy to use
b) Cheap!
c) Have the facility to accurately model airfoil sections
d) Able to integrate with a CFD program to calculate lift, pressure and drag coefficients for a design
e) Able to perform "aeronautical" calculations on a design, such as calculating wing area, wetted area, etc
f) Able to save in a format compaitble with a CNC mill or lathe

Any help would be greatly appreciated,


Brad
