Hanley Innovations provides accurate software tools for airfoil analysis as well as 3D wing analysis.  Our airfoil analysis software consists of   MultiElement Airfoils, VisualFoil Plus and MultiSurface Aerodynamics. Wing Analysis is performed by MultiSurface Aerodynamics.

Benefits of Hanley Innovations' Airfoil Analysis Software
Although most airfoil shapes can support flight, only the right one will save thousands of dollars in operating costs over the life of the aircraft. Benefits that can be derived from our accurate analysis tools are:

  • Rapid development of wing sections that meet your specified design requirements.

  • Design of aerodynamic surfaces that save fuel & increase range and endurance.

  • Design of efficient fan, propeller and helicopter rotor cross sections with reduced torque & higher rates of rotation.

  • Determination of efficient foil sections for high performance sailboats.

  • Analyzing & comparing race car wing configurations on the PC eliminates waste in  the carbon fiber manufacturing process.

  • Innovative graphical user interfaces enhance productivity and problem solving.

  • Export airfoils to .dxf files for inclusion in CAD programs.

Benefits of MultiSurface Aerodynamics for Wing Analysis
In addition to airfoil analysis, Multisurface Aerodynamics can be used to analyze and design 3D  wings. MultiSurface Aerodynamics has the following features.:

  • Realistic estimation of lift & total drag for 3D lifting surfaces.
  • Savings on wind tunnel costs and other testing methods.
  • Right-sizing of wings and interacting surfaces for more efficient flying.
  • Analyze biplanes, triplanes, canards, horizontal & vertical tail, and other multiple wing configurations.
  • Compute neutral point for the wing and determine longitudinal stability.
  • Edit, print, copy to clipboard and export graphs to .bmp file format.
  • Export tables to .csv file format for use in spreadsheet programs.
  • Export 3D wings to .stl file format for virtual prototyping use in other CAD/CAE software.
