The subscription price for one year of VisualFoil NACA is $69. VisualFoil NACA requires a PC, Laptop or tablet running MS Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 10. It will plot the airfoil shapes using Windows supported printer. The figure below shows NACA 2412 curve created at 100. Usually coordinates are expressed in numbers up to 6 digits after the decimal point and this causes to add noise to the actual equation. VisualFoil NACA exports airfoils in ascii and DXF formats. Most airfoil generator calculates point coordinates according to NACA Airfoil equations based on unit chord length and interpolate them. Please click here for more information about VisualFoil 5. The only difference is that it analyzes NACA Airfoils and it will not import other airfoil shapes.

VisualFoil NACA is similar to the full version of VisualFoil 5.0.

The software accurately computes lift, drag, moments for NACA 4, 5 and 6-series airfoils. It is based on a linear strength Vortex panel method coupled with a boundary layer solver.

Finally, a Flow component was used to map the Thickness Distribution onto the Mean Line: a lot less fuss than using the mathematical approach that was necessary in the 1930s!

The Mean Line was cleaned up by running it through a Fit Curve component, to smooth out the bump that inevitably occurs (with Abbot and von DoenhoffРІР‚в„ўs method) when the equation for the front portion and rear portion of the Mean Line meet. IРІР‚в„ўve improved on the methods described in the book by using Cosine spacing of the samples along the Thickness Distribution, working from Trailing Edge to Leading Edge so that there are more samples in the critical Leading Edge area, as well as wrapping it around the Mean Line as a single curve from Trailing Edge to Trailing Edge.

They are also tolerant of innacuracies in construction, dirt and insect accumulation, and real-world conditions generally. NACA's 4 series aerofoils are now rather old (they were developed in the thirties), but they are still useful for low-speed applications such as wind turbines or velomobile fairings. NACA 6-Series: Although NACA experimented with approximate theoretical methods that produced the 2-Series through the 5-Series, none of these approaches was found to accurately produce the desired airfoil behavior. It's based on the equations and methods set out in Abbot and von DoenhoffРІР‚в„ўs classic student aerodynamicistsРІР‚в„ў text, Theory of Wing Sections.

I've been playing around in Rhino 6 recently, and put together a GH definition to generate NACA series 4 aerofoils. This has already been posted on the GH forum, but I suppose it should have gone here instead -)
