How does Xflr modify the overall airfoil geometry when camber or t/c values are changed in 'Scale camber and thickness' option. I want to write a matlab code where along with camber and thickness, I can change leading edge radius and trailing edge thickness also.
Thanks.
The program uses XFoil's functions as a black box. The scaling and camber modification are done in XFoil::tcset(double cnew, double tnew)
The LE mod is in XFoil::lerad(double rfac, double blend)
The TE is set in XFoil::tgap(double gapnew, double blend)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
