  • Pros

    • Generates full sets of ribs for straight tapered wings
    • Supports DXF file export for integration with CAD software
    • Configures up to twelve rectangular or round spars and holes
    • Draws station lines and washout for foam cutting templates
    • Includes tools for comparing two airfoils and modifying camber

  • Cons

    • Maximum limit of twelve spars and twelve holes per airfoil
    • Rib generation is limited to straight taper designs

Developer’s Description

By J.C. Etiemble
Edit and print your ribs and airfoils templates from data.
Tracfoil features include where it can draw shetting thickness, Leading Edge (V-notch square stock), Trailing Edge.Build 12 spars rectangular or rond (location in unit's ou % from L.E or T.E, at position under airfoil, under sheeting).Build 12 holes rectangular or rond (location in unit's ou % from L.E or T.E,). Draw station lines and washout for template foam cutting. Compare 2 airfoils. Generate full set of ribs in straight taper, and save ribs on you disk. Modify airfoil thickness and camber, Rib Oblique, compute the dihedral, create new coordinates file. Print the airfoil with different colors and style and export the Airfoil on a DXF file and save and open the different airfoil components.
