Title: Airfoil generator for NACA 4 digit airfoils
Post by: Bruce Perry on August 13, 2012, 12:46:25 PM

I'm looking for an airfoil generator to make up some foam wing templates.  I've seen Profili, looks good but for a single wing seems pricey.  Is there another program that allows you to select LE and TE depth and thickness?  I seem to remember one but can't come up with the name.  If there is no other choice to profili... well it's only money?  Euro's in this case.

Thanks.

Bruce

Profili 2 registered(free) version will export dxf files and modify NACA airfoils.  There are also several NACA foil generators on line.  You can also find the NACA equation in the files at NASA.  I've got it someplace at home, but I'm not there.

Lots of solutions.

I've used this software for many years now. It is definitely one of the hidden gems.
