How to generate NACA 5 digit airfoil coordinates?
I want to generate NACA 63824 airfoil coordinates to use them in my bachelor thesis.
I tried airfoil tools and java foil. But I can't generate 638xx series.
Can you recommend me a program or a code that generates these airfoil coordinates?

Generating NACA airfoils with three digit maximal thickness numbers
I have two wind turbine blades, one that that consists of NACA 44xx airfoils and the other NACA 63-2xx airfoils. Some sections of these blades have airfoils whose maximal thickness are specified by three digits, such as .247c (where 'c' is the chord…

How to modify Airfoil thickness
I'm writing a fusion360 adding to model windmill blades. My first goal is to model the NREL Phase IV in which the airfoils (S809) definitions come with thickness and also span station (wich I¿dont know what is):
Right now, I'm able to calculate the…

Positioning and size for a Joukowsky Airfoil
Joukowsky transformations are absolutely eluding me because I can't find numerical examples (I have a learning disability and formulas have always made absolutely no sense to me). I'm trying to get an understanding of how to set up a Joukowsky…

What foil profile(s) does the MIT Decavitator (or similar vehicle) use?
I'm looking for some kind of "standard" hydrofoil profile suited for a water vehicle comparable to the MIT Decavitator (similar weight/speed/power/etc.), so I can use it as a base to get started with my own simulations/experiments. As far as I can…
