Where to find airfoil data

Wind & Water Airfoils

Hi,

People often asked where they can get airfoil data. The data I have can be found here:

Prof. Michael Selig of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has also created a fine library of airfoil data:

If you know of any other good sites for airfoil data, please post a follow-up response and I will add it to this note.

I added a report from The Aeronautical Research Institute of Sweden on their FFA-Wl-xxx, FFA-W2-xxx and FFA-W3-xxx Series of Airfoils to our Airfoils web site. You can find the report here:

Hi Marshall,

thanks for the links. When I try to access the upper link, I get the following error message:

An error has occurred. Please consult with your administrator.

I also tried to access the OSU database via the NREL website. If I click on any of the airfoils, a very similar error message appears

An error has occurred. Please consult with your administrator.

Do you know what might be wrong?

Thank you!

Dear @Marianne.Hartung,

The websites linked to by @Marshall.Buhl many years ago have since been decommissioned. The airfoil data that was stored on these websites have been move to: https://www.nrel.gov/wind/nwtc/airfoils-osu-data.html.

Best regards,

Dear Jason, thanks a lot. The new link works for me. Kind regards, Marianne
