These points can also be imported to software such as SolidWorks for modeling a wing. It generates a list of 100 points that can be imported into flow simulation software such as XFLR5 or ANSYS Fluent for analysis of lift/drag properties.
I had been looking for an easy way to create an airfoil shape with foam board, and that fit the bill! I wanted to create other airfoils using a similar technique, so I created a spreadsheet that generates a flat bottom airfoil with creases on the top edge as specified by the user.
Spars/spacers were inserted to keep the airfoil shape. A while ago I built the FT Bloody Wonder and loved how the airfoil was created: a flat bottom with creases along the top edge to approximate the profile of a curved-top airfoil.
