#Naca 0012 airfoil generator matlab how to

For the two most well-known airfoils, try 0012 (symmetric) and 2412 (cambered). Any more or less and the program will give you an error. This is a 4-digit airfoil program, and as such, you will need to specify only 4 digits. You can go to the next video in the series after the first one ends, or by going to my channel page. It's nothing major, and you will still be able to follow along. Note that the code you can download here is slightly different than that in the videos because I have made some updates.

I have made some YouTube videos regarding the math behind the airfoil, as well as how to code it in MATLAB as both a simple script, and in a GUI.ДЇor a video on the math behind the airfoils, click here.ДЇor a video on coding a simple script, click here.ДЇor a 10-video series on creating this GUI, click here for video 1. This is also a useful way to save coordinate files, as you can multiply both the X and Y values by the chord length you desire, while still having only a single coordinate file for each airfoil. The X and Y values are normalized by the chord length. Again, without changing any values, you should be able to press Save Data, and the coordinate file will be saved as NACA.txt to the directory that the code is located in.ДЇor in-depth descriptions of the different aspects of the GUI, see the sections below.

With the default values given in the GUI upon startup, you should be able to simply press Plot Airfoil, and the NACA 0012 will appear.

If you want to run the code, you will need to download both GUI_NACA_4_Digit_Airfoil.m and GUI_NACA_4_Digit_Airfoil.fig, and place them in the same directory/folder. As this is coded as a GUI, it contains both the. This repository contains the code used to generate NACA 4-digit airfoil coordinate files.
