Eppler format Airfoil coordinate data can be exported using this facility. Only one airfoil at a time may be exported. Each airfoil export is saved as an individual file.
To export;
1. Select click on the Eppler Coordinates radio button.
2. Select an airfoil from the dropdown list.
3. Click on the Ok button.
The format of the data is as follows;
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;

Each line represents an x and y coordinate.
The file name will default to the first 8 characters of the airfoil name followed by the extension cor.
