In order to perform some virtual flight testing of the UWS-4 ultralight airplane, we will create a model of the UWS-4 in the X-plane 12 flight simulator. The 1st step is to model the airfoil used on the UWS-4 wing by entering the airfoil's Cl, Cd and Cm numbers into X-Plane 12's Airfoil Maker application.
This is the start of a series of videos covering the modeling of the UWS-4 in X-plane 12.
The User Manual for X-Plane 12 Airfoil Maker is at: developer.x-plane.com/manuals...
