Added

  • Library holds the 56 MH airfoils of Martin Hepperle, MH 1 to MH 126, included with his written permission. Each
    entry names Martin Hepperle, www.mh-aerotools.de as author and links to the airfoil's coordinate page on
    mh-aerotools.de. Category and use text follow his description: flying wings, sailplanes, pylon racers, high-speed
    models, propellers, wind turbines, hang gliders, paragliders and others; the use text gives the thickness computed
    from the file and, where his page states one, the lowest Reynolds number. Source, permission and changes per file:
    airfoils/NOTICE.md in the release zip file.
  • The XFLR5 and flow5 import finds an airfoil named like an MH airfoil, such as MH 45, in Library.

Changed

  • The wizard presets use MH airfoils of Library, root / tip: Trainer MH 38 / MH 38, Sport MH 32 / MH 32, Glider
    MH 42 / MH 42, Sailplane MH 32 / MH 42, Delta jet, Double delta and Tail surface MH 52 / MH 52, Batwing MH 60 /
    MH 64, Swept flying wing MH 60 / MH 45, Plank MH 45 / MH 45. The sample wing "Sport wing 1500" uses MH 32 at all
    3 sections. With Profile parametrization Uniform, MH 42 fails the airfoil check, so the Glider and Sailplane
    presets build only with Centripetal or Chord length.
  • The wizard fields Root airfoil and Tip airfoil take a NACA designation or the name of a Library airfoil,
    e.g. MH 45; a suggestion list offers the Library names and the NACA presets.
  • Library links the author of every bundled file to the source page of the file; the link opens in a new tab,
    and its tooltip says so.
  • The box of external airfoil sources in the Airfoils tab is named More airfoils (external sites). Its text
    says that the app bundles the MH airfoils with the written permission of their designer; its MH-AeroTools note
    says that the MH airfoils are in Library.

Use: unzip wingdesigner-v0.7.0-site.zip and open index.html in the browser; it runs from the file without a web server (tested in Chromium). A static web server on the folder works as well, e.g. python3 -m http.server. LICENSES.txt holds the licenses of the app and of its bundled libraries.
