Foil Utilities

On this page, skin thickness refers to 'T' as shown below.

 

Calculate Core Dimensions


Simplified approach - reduces foil dimensions
based on skin thickness, and recalculates offsets.

NACA 4 Digit foils only.

Enter external dimensions:
(use same measurement units in all fields)
chord max thickness
skin thickness:

Calculate Reynolds Number

Used in calculations of lift.
Velocity Chord length Fluid constant
Reynolds Number:

 


I'll break my rule about not including links here - check out Martin Hepperle's JavaFoil for online foil analysis.
