The coordinates appear to be in normal fashion, starting with the Trailing edge moving toward the LE. The 'Y' values are upper and lower.
Compufoil should be able to handle it, but you might be able to put in a file (.dat) to make it easier. The 'X' values run from 100 to 0 %, just enter in reverse to go from 0 to 100. If you have a spreadsheet (Excel) you can enter, and scale to any size needed and even plot to see what it looks like. Most programs I have used accept values as: 0.000,0.000 1.000,0.100 " " " 100.000,0.000 for lower curve, and a similar list for the upper curve. .........bc AG4YQ Williamsburg, VA On Tue, 9 Aug 2005, Glauco Lago wrote: > Guys, > > I put some wrinkles on my airplane wing and need to check the airfoil > before starting the sanding block work. > > The airfoil is an HQ/W - 3,5/8 and the coordinates can be found here > > http://www.hq-modellflug.de/koordinatenframe.htm > > I want to plot the airfoil on Compufoil or TraCFoil but don't know how > to turn those coordinates into something readable by the softwares. > I know how to make .dat files but the coordinates are not the usual > 1.0000 0.0000XX. > > Thanks, > > Glauco > RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
