Experimental wind tunnel study of airfoils with large flap deflections at low Reynolds numbers
… are symmetrical airfoils that were design using PROFOIL specifically for this research. PROFOIL is an inverse airfoil design code that utilizes conformal mapping. The W1011 and W1015 were designed to have similar performance characteristics that favor aerobatic flight. Airfoil performance was …

Shape optimization of cambered airfoils using a genetic algorithm and a multipoint inverse method
… (GA) and a multipoint inverse method called PROFOIL. XFOIL was used to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of each airfoil. Data processing techniques and a custom penalty function were developed in order to overcome challenges in integrating these tools. The viability of this approach was …
