Description-en: program for the design and analysis of subsonic airfoils
XFOIL is an interactive program for the design and analysis of subsonic
isolated airfoils. It consists of a collection of menu-driven routines
which perform various useful functions such as:
- Viscous (or inviscid) analysis of an existing airfoil
- Airfoil design and redesign by interactive specification of
a surface speed distribution via screen cursor or mouse
- Airfoil redesign by interactive specification of new geometric
parameters
- Blending of airfoils
- Drag polar calculation with fixed or varying Reynolds and/or
Mach numbers.
- Plotting of geometry, pressure distributions, and polars
