Besides the plot of a profile, the properties of this profile are of interest, e.g lift, drag and moment. The program h4profile is designed and programmed for this reason.

The geometry of profiles is shown. If available, the characteristics are shown in addition to the geometry of such profiles. Several functions for the analysis of the profile geometry are implemented.

Features:
View profile sections
Create NACA 4/5 digit profile sections
Number of panels not limited
Plot of aerodynmic data (lift, drag, moment, glide ratio)
Geometric analysis: thickness, position of maximum thickness, mean camber line, curvature, first derivative of curvature (s. figure below)
SQL database to search profiles
File format: XML
Export of the profile: Selig Format, NACA Format, STEP AP 203, VDA/FS, TIFF, PDF
Convert Selig file format files to XML format
Data browser

What's New:
Approximation of the capabilities as airfoil, hydrofoil, windmill or propeller
Improved installer
Ready made database with 1534 profiles.
