Sample profiles are already integrated in Mecaflux, you just have to choose your profile. Curves, called polar, give you the coefficient of lift and drag, depending on the incidence (attack angle) of profile and the Reynolds number.Įxample Polar found in the databases of profiles data Note that the data is released under the GNU General Public License.To use the data files with PGF/TikZ, you have to comment out the lines not containing coordinates.

A few airfoil profiles from the extensive UIUC Airfoil Coordinates Database.The data is provided in a convenient x,y coordinate format suitable for plotting using PGF/TikZs plot file construct.

Frequently, the question arises as to what airfoil or airfoils were used in the wing design of a particular aircraft.
