Airfm: Airfoil Manipulation Software

Airfm Software Interface — The Airfm user interface for airfoil analysis.

Problem

Aeronautical designers and drone builders often struggle with fragmented tools when selecting and modifying airfoils. Manually tweaking coordinates and running separate simulations is time-consuming and prone to error.

Solution

Airfm provides a unified platform to create, manipulate, and analyze airfoils. With an intuitive UI and integrated mathematical engines, it simplifies the transition from geometric design to aerodynamic analysis.

Airfm airfoil selection library — Airfoil airfoil library.

Airfm main airfoil editing interface — Main airfoil editing interface.

Results

Reduces airfoil selection time from hours to minutes.
Standardized airfoil data export for CAD and CFD tools.
High-fidelity visualization of aerodynamic coefficients.

Tech Stack

Languages: Python, QML.
Libraries: NumPy, Matplotlib, PySide2.

Impact

Airfm empowers drone enthusiasts and professional engineers alike to make data-driven decisions during the conceptual design phase, leading to more efficient and higher-performance aircraft.
