Known Issues

Our first release contains a database of 1440 foil and strut shapes optimized for most possible conditions, over a +/- 3-degree AoA range. Future optimizations with different range targets and optimal weights will be available via cloud service to better suit exact user needs. The included database will, in general, outperform any other shapes you can find online, usually by a wide margin.
