Airfm

Welcome to Airfm, an Airfoil Data Visualization App! This project is designed to help users visualize UIUC airfoil data in a user-friendly and interactive way. This app provides a convenient way to visualise an airfoil and prepare them to be used as curves in Solidworks and/or other modeling software.

Features

  • Interactive Plotting: Visualize airfoil data using interactive plots that allow for zooming, panning, and dynamic updates.
  • Customizable Plot Settings: Adjust plot settings such as axis labels, tick marks, and plot style to suit your preferences.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive user interface designed for ease of use and navigation.
  • Extensive list of airfoils: A list of airfoils listed in the UIUC airfoil database, available at UIUC Database

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python: 3.5 - 3.11 (Ensure you are using a compatible version)
  • Qt: 5.15.11 - 5.15.15 (Required by PySide2)
  • PySide2: Compatible with Qt 5.15.11 - 5.15.15
  • Qt Charts (included with PySide2)

Credits

Thanks to Prof. Selig for his airfoil library. I haven't been able to contact him to let him know about this project, but his contribution to the aerospace field is deeply appreciated.

Coming Features

  • Airfoil analysis: Use numerical solvers to perform preliminary analysis on airfoils.
  • Multiple Airfoil Support: Load data for multiple airfoils and compare their performance side by side.
  • Export Objects to CAD: Provide support to export wings to CAD software rather than only 2D airfoils.
