Title: Coordinates for imitation foil
Post by: Curare on December 20, 2013, 06:59:43 PM

Hey lads, does anyone have coordinate data for a fancier imitation foil? Or possibly something similar?

Given a fairly normal-looking airfoil, you can fiddle with the parameters that generate NACA 4-digit airfoils and match it.  Then you have not only coordinates, but an equation you can manipulate.  If that's what you want, I can probably show you how to do it.
