Download airfoilData.mlappinstall for interactive use in MATLAB. Works with MATLAB R2018b and later. Earlier versions actually not supported.

Download the airfoilData_installerWeb.exe file to use the application with Microsoft Windows without having MATLAB installed, but may require up to 800 Mb additional data to get the MATLAB runtime compiler.

Changes with respect to version 1.0

  • Fixed Cd_min of supercritical airfoil.
  • Updated description.
  • New icons.

As concern minimum drag coefficient, previous version was based on data of rough airfoil (fixed transition), which led to high values. In that case, a supercritical airfoil may had a Cd_min more than double of a NACA airfoil of the same thickness ratio and Reynolds number, an unrealistic result.
