airfoil

I made a cutout of an airfoil and want to move it forward about 7mm from where it started to make space for a leading edge slat that I am attempting to create. I am currently copy and pasting the sketch, re-aligning it to it's original position, then moving it forwards, but the cut-out section of the airfoil keeps on…

I have been trying to create guidelines for the shape of my winglet and when lofting the 1st part of the winglet I get the issue that one of the guidelines is not connected to one of the profiles. I have been getting it quite a few times but in these cases the disconnect was pretty noticeable so I could tell how to join…

I am trying to design a wing and currently I have designed an Aileron and I want to fit it into my wing and rotate it using Assembly. My first problem is trying to properly fit the Aileron rod/hinge into the wing with assembly. Since the Wing is tapered, the hole I designed is also tapered to follow the direction of the…

I have an airfoil section/rib that i want to flatten and be turned into a sheet metal part. it's split into two sections, there is on 90 bend, an L shape. Happy to convert to a face/surface but convert to sheet metal model throws the error, having a hard time finding applicable examples.…

I want to add a rectangular strip 1-2m long around the centre of my wing, the problem I am having is that I can't sketch on the surface of the wing as it is a loft from one air foil to another. Any ideas on how I could do so.

I am making a Airfoil for a plane I am making in a engineering class I am taking and I am having difficulties getting the airfoil to be all 1 part and having in generate properly in Prusa slicer. I can't get the wing to all be 1 part and have it not completely break its self when I set the printer setting in Prusa to…

Hi everyone, I have created two scripts for the rapid generation of aerofoil profiles in OnShape, I have been using my first script for quite a while and seems to work well for me and thought it was about time I shared it with others. There are two scripts available In the public document 'Aerofoil Script': * NACA XXXX *…

We are releasing an exciting new Custom Feature! Introducing HAVF Profiles, built in collaboration with Austin Holbrook and Greg Brown. This feature comes loaded with an extensive library of airfoil profiles, guaranteeing continuity at the leading edge and providing control over the core variables of the profile, such as…

Hi, I'm working on a project and I'm trying to make a wing that has a curved bottom that progressively gets thinner as it goes along. I've tried using the onshape airfoil script but I can't get the same effect when I loft - instead I get straight lines. I've tried using guides when lofting but that is difficult because…

Hi Guys, Sorry if this question is really obvious. I am just getting started with OnShape. I usually work with SolidEdge ST7 in 100% Synchronous mode (I see no need for Parametric for any of my work... unless the software forces me to). I'm trying to bring accurate Airfoil profiles into a sketch so I can then loft them…
