Bug#541351: RFP: xfoil -- Interactive program for the design and analysis of subsonic airfoils



retitle 541351 ITP: xfoil -- Interactive program for the design and analysis of subsonic airfoils
owner 541351 !
thanks

Hello,

I was able to compile all programs with current gfortran and I'll try to
package it. One problem with this program is that it does not contain
license information in the source package (only on the web page). I'll
try to contact authors after checking whether everything else is ok.

> It consists of a collection of menu-driven routines which perform

> Viscous (or inviscid) analysis of an existing airfoil, allowing 
> forced or free transition 
> transitional separation bubbles 
> limited trailing edge separation 
> lift and drag predictions just beyond CLmax 
> Karman-Tsien compressibility correction 
> fixed or varying Reynolds and/or Mach numbers 
> Airfoil design and redesign by interactive modification of surface speed

> Full-Inverse method, based on a complex-mapping formulation 
> Mixed-Inverse method, an extension of XFOIL's basic panel method 
> Airfoil redesign by interactive modification of geometric parameters

> max thickness and camber, highpoint position 
> LE radius, TE thickness 
> camber line via geometry specification 
> camber line via loading change specification 
> flap deflection 
> explicit contour geometry (via screen cursor) 
> Blending of airfoils 
> Writing and reading of airfoil coordinates and polar save files 
> Plotting of geometry, pressure distributions, and multiple polars
> 
> NOTE: The program consists of 3 source codes: xfoil, pplot and px_plot.
