Eppler format Airfoil coordinate data can be imported using this facility. Coordinates start at the trailing edge on the upper surface of the airfoil, continuing around the leading edge and back to the trailing edge along the lower surface.

A sample is shown below;


1.00000  0.00000

0.99572  0.00115

0.98296  0.00448

0.96194  0.00972

0.93301  0.01656

0.89668  0.02475

0.85355  0.03400

0.80438  0.04394

Each line represents an x and y coordinate.

Any airfoil data which follows this format can be imported using this facility.

The data must appear in the same sequence when viewed using a text editor such as the windows Notepad (ie. carriage returns at the end of each line).

This feature has been enhanced to verify the format. Winfoil can now correct the format on import if the top surface coordinate order has been reversed which is the case for some airfoils on the

UIUC web site.


The name of the airfoil will default to the file name. A screen is presented to allow for the name to be changed.
