Details of the real-time flight simulation and modeling methods are discussed in this 2014 journal paper: <a href="https://m-selig.ae.illinois.edu/pubs/Selig-2014-JofAC-FlightSim-FINAL.pdf">PDF</a>. <p>PROFOIL for airfoil design is now available on the <a href="https://github.com/m-selig/PROFOIL" target="_blank">PROFOIL GitHub page</a> (link opens in a new tab). This is the airfoil design software that has been used to design all of the Selig/etal-series airfoils since the early 90's. Before that point, the Eppler code was used.</p> <p>David Lednicer's <a href="https://m-selig.ae.illinois.edu/ads/aircraft.html">The Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage</a> page was updated.
