Description
Airfoil Design is the ultimate tool for designing and analyzing aircraft wing sections. With advanced numeric methods, custom mesh generation, and real-time aerodynamic analysis, you can create and refine complex airfoil geometries with precision. Our CFD simulation engine accurately solves Euler's equations, providing insights into compressible, non-viscous flows, including shockwave formations.
Key Features:
- Design Flexibility: Generate and customize airfoil geometries with 4 types: NACA 4-digit, NACA 5-digit, Modified NACA 4-digit, and Modified NACA 5-digit airfoils.
- Real-Time Analysis: Adjust airfoil shapes using intuitive sliders and instantly see the impact on aerodynamic coefficients.
- Airfoil Import: Easily import existing airfoils from the airfoiltools.com database.
- Custom Mesh Generation: Create o-type grid meshes with our built-in generator and export them for use in other applications.
- Advanced CFD Simulation: Simulate airflow around your designs with our powerful CFD engine, now featuring touch pan/zoom, streamlines, CP vectors, and second-order solver. Visualize results with the new Coolwarm color map and export them as PDFs.
Whether you’re a professional aerospace engineer or a student of aerodynamics, Airfoil Design offers the tools you need to innovate and explore. Download now to start your aerodynamic journey on your iPad or iPhone.
Note: The app is continuously being improved, with new features and bug fixes on the way.

Ratings and Reviews
Doesn't work well on my iPad pro
This is a really good app and it shows up well on my phone, but I get only partial views of the screens on myiPad. That means the generate button on the cfd page is not visible.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review. However, note that the UI will not work correclty in landscape orientation on the iPad as it is not compatible yet. Please run the app in normal orientation for now.
Interesting and fun
Fan of Motorsport and the technical why’s and how’s. Not really what this app is meant for maybe, but it’s fun to research aero info and apply it into app and see what comes out. Wish drag was possible but not complaining. Thanks to the developer, hopefully development/updates continue.
Fantastic app for those who love aerodynamics
This is a great app with a nice and easy-to-follow design and UI. It provides the user with a lot of important information about different aerodynamic design aspects. I commend the developer for such a nice work!
