Default XFOIL reference frame

Hello everybody,

I have a question for those familiar with the Xfoil program.
Can someone tell me in which frame are computed the lift and drag coefficient CL & CD?
Is it in the wind frame or the in the body (airfoil) frame ? The difference between the two being the rotation worth the incidence alpha.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Paul
