Default Downloadable Airfoils

Hi

There used to be a list of downloadable airfoil files for models on the web. All you had to do was download the airfoil and import it into your program. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks

There are VERY FEW coordinates for airfoils available which apply directly to models. You almost have to look for the exact name/type of model to find reporting on it, as these seem to be taken one at a time. There are several sites which report in with equivalent numbers for 1:1 prototype aircraft though.

Of which type of airfoil you currently looking for? Model or Prototype?
