NACA 4- and 5-digit airfoil methods

(Greg Payne) writes: how to do it
If anybody wants it, I have a DOS program called generate.exe that
does the 4- and 5-digit math. I will send it to anybody who wants it
(I assume few people do) for the cost of postage and a disk -- ie
about $1. You can email me at dedalus2@aol.com.
NACA 6, 7, and 8 series
Article: 1006 of sci.aeronautics
From: hulburt@leland.Stanford.EDU (Greg Payne)
Subject: NACA 6,7, and 8 series fortran program
Date: 8 Jul 1994 14:12:28 -0500
Organization: Stanford University
6-Series:
by CL Ladson and CW Brooks, Jr:
NASA TM X-3284 "Development of a Computer Program to Obtain
Ordinates for the NACA 4-Digit, 4-Digit Modified, 5-Digit, and
16-Series airfoils" (includes source code listing)
NASA TM X-3069 "Development of a Computer Program to Obtain
Ordinates for the NACA 6- and 6A-Series Airfoils"
(includes source code listing)
I have a copy of the fortran source. If anyone is interested
I will check with the person that sent it to me and see
about putting on an ftp site somewhere (I think it is
public domain so it shouldn't be a problem). The notes that
came with it also indicate it is not 'extremely accurate' for
thicknesses of less than 6% and greater than 15%.
7 & 8-Series
NACA TN-1771 "The Development of Cambered Airfoil Sections
Having Favorable Lift Characteristics at Supersonic Mach
Numbers" (8-series)
There is a NACA report on the 7-series, but I can't find it
in my notes - NACA/NASA published an index of NACA's TN's
and it is listed there.

NACA4GEN
From Harold Ginsberg / 76660.3274@compuserve.com
Date: 23 Jul 95 13:09:35 EDT
Subject: NACA4GEN
I wrote that calculates NACA 4 digit airfoil shapes. I also wrote a
program that generates NACA 4 Digit Airfoils in DXF format. A DXF
format can be imported into many CAD programs.
I have been uploading a file call NACA4GEN.ZIP to BBS and on-line
services (Compuserve) and circulating as shareware.
NACA4GEN is directly available via ftp from ftp.mecheng.asme.org/pub/fluid/naca4gen.zip.
This file has two compressed files NACA4GEN.EXE and NACA.DXF
NACA4GEN.EXE is a program that generates the coordinates of an NACA 4
digit Airfoil section. It was written in Fortran. It plots the
Airfoil on the screen and some of the coordinates.
NACA.DXF is a DXF file of an NACA 4 digit Airfoil. It can be imported
into any CAD programs. It was generated by a program call
NACA4DXF.EXE, Which is like NACA4GEN.EXE.
There is a New Web site:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Harold_Ginsberg/.
It has infomation on NACA4GEN (TM) progams; Harold Ginsberg; a Copy of the
shareware NACA foil generators; Info on Aircraft, Ships, and RC models; and
links to other areas of the net.
These Programs are written by Mr. Harold Ginsberg (PE) who has a
B.S. in Aerospace Engineering.
Innovative Aerodynamic Technologies

Date: 16 Aug 95
Subject: COMMERCIAL: Laminar Airfoil Design and Analysis
Innovative Aerodynamic Technologies (IAT), Poquoson, Virginia would like to
introduce a user-friendly package to design and analyze low drag
airfoils.
It is well known that the skin friction drag caused by a laminar boundary
layer is about an order of magnitude lower than that of a turbulent boundary
layer. The tools to design and analyze laminar airfoils, until now, required
"expert" users with extensive experience. This capability only existed with
major aircraft manufacturers and research organizations.
IAT's Laminar Airfoil Manager: Design and Analysis (LAMDA) package is
an innovative tool for novices and expert users alike. The Graphical
User Interface of LAMDA integrates a flow analysis code, a boundary layer
mean-flow analysis code, and a boundary layer stability code and allows
even an inexperienced user to conduct a reliable design/analysis in a
stable working environment.
Features include:
Interactive inputs
Ability to generate NACA 4-&5-digit, and 6 series airfoils in seconds
Ability to conduct flow analysis to compute the pressure distribution
Ability to conduct laminar boundary layer mean flow analysis
Ability to conduct linear incompressible boundary layer stability analysis
On screen plots of airfoil geometry, pressure distribution, suction
distribution, boundary layer velocity profiles, stability parameters such
as boundary layer disturbance growth rate.
Postscript output of all the plots
Capability to bookkeep all the user files related to laminar flow analysis
LAMDA Version 1.0 was developed under NASA Small Business Innovative
Research (SBIR) program and all the codes used under the interface
were extensively used for over ten years.
This package is multi-platform based running under X-windows. It can be
used on PC's running LINUX operating system. It is a unique tool for
design/analysis of low drag airfoils which reduces the turn around time
from days to hours. LAMDA is useful to experimental aircraft designers,
General Aviation aircraft designers, researchers as well as students.

You might be interested in looking at
http://www.maths.unsw.EDU.AU/~norris/software.html
which contains the original Fortran, and a C version for those who
don't know any better. It can create 4- and 5- digit and 1- and 6-
series airfoils.
