Default Change of airfoil

I suspect that at present the best option would be to digitize the coordinates of the mystery 'foil and run it through Xfoil. I haven't had much chance to use it myself but all the reports seem to point to Xfoil being one of the better low speed analysis tools.

It's just not enough to say it's "sort of like" since it's all about pressure distributions and local velocities and ..... and ..... you know, stuff.....
