Airfoil Lift
The Airfoil Lift app calculates the Coefficient of Lift (CL) for three different types of airfoils, NACA 4-digit shapes, NACA 5-digit shapes and user defined shapes. The app calculates the pressure distribution for both the top and bottom surfaces and the total Coefficient of Lift (CL). The app uses the Vortex Panel numerical method. Shape location points are also given so the user can copy and paste them into other graphic programs. The app can be used on both tablets and phones.

Please provide a way to NOT automatically compute until the user has defined the airfoil profile. The app gets laggy and frustrating.

Doesn't seem to handle symetric NACA airfoils. For example, NACA 0008. I couldn't find a way to enter a "0" in the second number field.

Good to try out effect of change of shape of a profile. It would be nice if one could change the viscosity of the medium and put in exact dimensions in inch or mm. Great stuff anyways.

Really slick. It doesn't replace the tried and true spreadsheet calculations, but it sure makes life easier for the design engineer. Good stuff.

I design rc aircraft, love the app many thanks
Having trouble using the user defined application. I can move the circles but it responds about a minute after I've made an adjustment so could end up anywhere. I take it all back this allowed me to design a pretty good airfoil. I don't know how to save it though so i used a screenshot.
