Check out the Airfoil Design Workshop. You can import ordinate data from sites
like NASG listed below. View, modify and optionally export data to a DXF file that can
be open in many CAD programs and some other graphics packages. Print to scale
from there.

thank you for the info on www.nasg.com. Do you know a minimum cad package that would allow me to display, modify, and print the air foils. It needs to be really easy to use. I tried a cad program a while back and it ended in frustration.
