Airfoil design for X-Plane using XFLR5 and polar2afl | Recorded Stream

ERRATA: since making this video I dug a little into the innards of X-Plane. Airfoil files in X-Plane store Reynolds number for a UNIT CHORD WING, not the actual chord length of the wing. X-Plane pre-multiplies the Reynolds table with the actual chord length of the wing section it is examining. So whenever you do your XFLR5 simulations and generate airfoils, assume a unit length chord (i.e. leave chord length as "1" in your Reynolds number calculator) and only vary the other parameters.

Amazing video! You really are the master of X-Plane.

Thank you ! Great valuable informations

[@todirbg]

Thank you very much!

[@flyingbarbarian1]

Nice!

[@lfox02]

And I, as well as several other new dev teams, would be very interested in a Windows build if you could!

[@totoritko]

There is a Windows build on the GitHub repo. Click "Releases" and download polar2afl.zip - it's all in there.

Perfect

how Xplane calculate induced drag ?

[@barzanmusa5354]

hey i am struggling on the last part the polar2afl doesnt work for me any ideas why?

[@theartfulplonker9326]

does anyone know what aerofoil the a220-300 has?

u r AMX studios ?

Most probably a proprietary design so good luck with that... Maybe you could ask your friendly 220 pilot next door to make a 3D scan with an iPhone and deduce the airfoil shape from the data points...😅
