This is an idea I've had for a long time and finally found time to build it. CloudFoil allows you to check your Xfoil results against high-fidelity full RANS CFD simulations in minutes. Because the simulations run in the cloud, simulations can be kicked off from any device including your laptop, tablet, or phone. I believe CloudFoil sports the best user interface in the industry for airfoil analysis, and it's designed to be used by experts and novices alike.

Check it out at www.cloudfoil.com when you get a chance. I hope it helps you guys design something awesome.

Happy Birthday NACA

NACA, the precursor to NASA, was founded 100 years ago today. NACA was instrumental in furthering fundamental knowledge of airfoil theory, and created well-known families of airfoils still widely used today.

To honor the NACA legacy, we've added the NACA 4-digit airfoil series to Mach-Up in high-resolution. That's 10,000 airfoils now available to design with... for free. :)

Have your cake and eat it too. Happy Birthday!

Thanks for a great first week!

It's been just over a week since we launched, and we've had an INCREDIBLE response to Mach-Up - the free, web-based design tool.

We've had over 2,000 visitors and now have over 600 registered users. Amazing. Thank you all for your enthusiastic support!

(If you missed it, you can check it out at www.mach-up.com)

Our goal is to remove the guesswork in designing an airframe. We plan to roll out a full suite version in just a few months and would like to hear from you. What are the three most important features you would like to see? What would make your project easier, quicker, and more fun?

Thanks again. Look forward to your thoughts in the comments.

Mach-Up is a free, web-based conceptual design tool. Because it's web-based, you can access it anytime from anywhere.

Check it out here: www.mach-up.com

Key Features:

  • Quickly design airframes
  • Create beautiful images
  • Share your designs with others
  • Interface with other CAD software

Works on Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, and Android.

This is an idea I've had for several years. Just had to do it and get it out there.

Enjoy!
