Prediction of drag and lift coefficients of NACA airfoils

Motivation for this project is to help the engineers predict the 'Drag coefficient' and 'Lift coefficient' of their NACA 4 digit airfoils without running a physical test or a CFD simulation

Attriutes of airfoil

Input variables:

  • Angle of attack
  • Maximum thickness of the airfoil
  • Chord at maximum thickness
  • Maximum camber of the airfoil
  • Chord at maximum thickness
  • Reynolds number

Target variables

  • Lift coefficient
  • Drag coefficient
