Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

You can find a turbine calculator at the Warlock site, http://warlock.com.au/bladecalc-abstract.htm
Now I did have a collection of cad files for most of the common airfoils, will see if I can find it.

Hi grassfu,

Here you can find a program (you need Java installed on your computer, not javascript) for airfoils.



It have only few profiles but you can design your own, and simulate airflow...



You can modify resulted airfoil and hit "Create airfoil" button again.

Then you can import coordinates in Rhino. Mr. Bean have a tutorial on his site.

Or wait for Glenn tutorials on his CNC site.Edited by vasi 2007-12-17
