• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi all,

I found these two sites that seem wonderfully useful!

First, a table of aircraft and their respective airfoils:

And, some helpful tools for getting numbers to put into your flight model, once you know which airfoil to use:

Airfoil Tools

Airfoil (aerofoil) tools and applications. Search for airfoil coordinates and dat files. Plot and comapare airfoil shapes
airfoiltools.com airfoiltools.com

A third, thanks to chris34! The NASA NTRS server (which also goes back to the NACA days):

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

ntrs.nasa.gov ntrs.nasa.gov

Hope this helps!

Don't forget that there are a plethora of NASA reports on various aircraft that list all kinds of lift, drag, stability, and control numbers. Just take a search through the NASA NTRS server for your aircraft type and see if anything pops up. They also almost always list exact dimensions for things like the MAC for CG calculation. Lots of useful stuff there.
