How to make NACA wing profile?

889 david0327  14 days ago

Hi there, I am quite curious about how to make an airfoil in Simpleplane? I saw there are a few articles posted, but it seems like the article is too old, and may not apply to the latest version. So I want to know if it is possible to select our own NACA wing profile, and possibly determine the lift coefficient under different angles of attack.

Thank you.

Best, David

    The wing parts in simple planes are the only parts that generate lift. So the only way to change how it looks is to hide the wing inside of a fuselage block. So use the fuselage block, and set it to look like how you want your wing, and then nudge the wing inside.
    Hope this helps, but feel free to ask if you have more questions.
