With this function you can generate the intermediate airfoils in a wing with different ones at root and tips. You can also define the mixing percentage. This lets you to create a new airfoil by mixing two selected from the database. Thickness adjustment.100% is normal thickness. Graphical comparing on more airfoils Airfoils processing functions: Mix of two airfoils. Radius of camber in millimetres, Zero for no curve Any missing or invalid data will be ignored so check the information was entered correctly. Paste in the dat file data from the University of Illinois database or use the form below to preview and get the files. Large plots can be printed over multiple pages.Ĭhoose from list or select "Enter coordinates"
The wind turbine has been controlled via two control methods: the variable pitch angle and by regulation of the field current of the generator and examined under real wind conditions. The data in the ".dat" files on this site can be pasted into the coordinates window for plotting. Three blades of a 3 kW prototype wind turbine generator were designed with thin airfoil and a tip speed ratio of 3. There is a much larger range of airfoil coordinates available on the University of Illinois airfoil coordinates database. A number of airfoil section can be selected from the drop down menu.
