AirfoilProfile
is a ScriptableObject
that determines the behaviour of the Airfoil
.
AirfoilProfile
. These fields affect all the Airfoil
s using this AirfoilProfile
. For individual coefficient adjustment check the Airfoil
inspector.AnimationCurve
s representing the lift, drag and moment values along the Y axis against the angle of attack on the X axis. X axis should be in range of [-90, 90]. Usually parsed from the Polar String
but can also be set manually.Header Lines
determines the number of initial lines to ignore (11 for XFoil) and the index values determine which column is what. By default the first column determines the angle of attack, next column is coefficient of lift, etc. If the curves are set manually this section can be ignored.Over 1000 common airfoils are included.
After importing only NACA airfoils will be present in the NWH > Aerodynamics > Scripts > Airfoil > AirfoilProfiles directory but by double clicking on AirfoilProfiles.unitypackage in NWH > Aerodynamics > Scripts > Airfoil the rest of the AirfoilProfiles
will get imported.
