The Airfoil parameters (root, tip, vertical stabilizer, and horizontal stabilizer) are linked to the wings profiles.
I asked Chat GPT to try and explain them to me.
I'm wondering if it's possible to input these values from an SVG profile?
<[string8][object][airfoil]
<[string8][Name][AirfoilRoot]>
<[float64][Cl0][0.0]> # Symmetrical => no lift at 0°.
<[float64][Cd0][0.006]> # Reduced friction drag.
<[float64][Cm0][0.00]> # Neutral moment (symmetrical).
<[float64][ClAlpha][6.6]> # Steep Cl slope (responsiveness).
<[float64][CdAlpha][0.40]> # Drag variation with angle of attack.
<[float64][CmAlpha][0.0]> # Little moment variation.
<[float64][ClFlap][3.2]> # Very effective flaps/ailerons.
<[float64][CdFlap][0.02]> # Flap drag penalty
<[float64][CmFlap][-0.45]> # High flap torque (useful in 3D).
<[float64][Cd0Base][0.0035]> # Low base drag for speed
<[float64][ClAlphaBase][3.6]> # Lift behavior in 3D regime.
<[float64][CdAlphaBase][1.1]> # ?
<[float64][CmAlphaBase][0.0]> # ?
<[float64][AttachedCenter][0.03]> # Angle (fraction of a chord) where the flow remains attached (small offset).
<[float64][AttachedRange][0.20]> # Large attachment range (allows high angles of attack).
<[float64][StallRange][0.40]> # Wider stall transition range (softer stall).
<[float64][AttachedCenterFlap][-0.18]> # Effect of flaps on the attached area.
<[float64][ClFlapBase][1.0]> # ?
