The data is also available on the Internet from the host opus.aae.uiuc.edu using anonymous FTP. See the file /pub/lsat/AIRFOIL.DATA for directions on which files to copy. Also the data can be found on the World Wide Web by starting at the site http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/m-selig/ and follow the links to the UIUC Low Speed Airfoil Tests. Is the data available on diskettes? Yes, all of the airfoil coordinates and performance data presented are available on IBM and Macintosh compatible diskettes through SoarTech Publications. SoarTech will be returning a portion of the proceeds from all disk and book sales to help support the continuation of these airfoil wind tunnel tests. These funds are vital and provide a significant portion of the total project funding. Write to: SoarTech Publications c/o Herk Stokely 1504 N.
