All About Airfoils Video

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Airfoils is the first video of its kind!

Learn what makes airfoils work, how they are tested. Learn how to interpret those nasty looking Polar test results intelligently…. to select the RIGHT airfoil for your new design… or to choose between the airfoils used on kit designs!

This video emphasizes NON-MATHEMATICAL ways to evaluate an existing airfoil…or ways to design your own airfoil.

Produced in cooperation with Dr. Michael Selig’s Low Speed Airfoil Testing Program at the University of Illinois, this video will show you actual airfoil testing procedures…. how the test data is generated, and how the Polar graphs are generated from the test data.

All of the basics of airfoil physics are demonstrated with live video, graphics, and animation. When you have learned the information presented on this video, you’ll be able to take an unknown airfoil, and have a pretty good idea of how it will perform…. without being a mathematician or engineer.

Airfoils… The “Engine” of Un-Powered Flight

When man first tried to build a flying machine, he tried to copy the wings of a bird. Great idea, except that birds are constantly changing the airfoil, planform, angle of attack, and sweep of their wings. In the process, copying what appeared to be a highly cambered, very thin section airfoil just Didn't Work Out Very Well. Want to learn more about airfoils?
