CAMBER MODIFICATION SCREEN

 

image\winf0101.gif This screen is used to modify the camber of an airfoil. Camber cannot be altered for symmetrical airfoils as these have no camber. Camber is expressed as a percentage of the chord of an airfoil. The location of the point of maximum camber can not be altered by this screen.

 

To modify the camber;

Enter the amount of camber and click on the OK button.

 

To exit without making a change, click on the CANCEL button.

 

The RESET button is used to reset the camber to the original camber for the airfoil.

 

image\winf0098.gif Tip To undo your change , click on the image\winf0102.gif on the AIRFOIL CAD toolbar.

 

image\winf0089.gif Warning The modification of existing airfoils is not recommended. Without a thorough knowledge of aerodynamics and extensive wind tunnel testing modifications will in most cases reduce the performance and could lead to poor aircraft flight and stability characteristics.
