Airfoil database files

If it works, I can show you how to do it yourself using a freeware polygon modeler. The dat file data can either be loaded from the airfoil database or your own airfoils which can be entered here and they will appear in the list of airfoils in the form below. Plot and print the shape of an airfoil (aerofoil) for your specific chord width and transformation. It might be a while though as I have a lot on my plate at the moment. S1223 - Selig S1223 high lift low Reynolds number airfoil.

dat file your cnc uses as an example as well as an example shape you would like to try, attach them here and I will take a look when I get a chance. As long as you draw the shape with vertices counter clockwise and keep it confined between 0x0 and 1x1 units it should translate fairly easy. obj which is also in a text readable format. While both use 2D vectors in a text format, the Selig would be easier to work with because it's vertex order is a continuous counter counter clockwise rotation.Īnyway, what I am thinking is using a 3D polygon modeler to draw a 2D n-gon and exporting as an.

dat files come in two different formats, Lednicer and Selig depending on vertex order. I looked into it a bit and I think I might be able to get something to work.
