About

WingFlow

Features
Read full description

WingFlow is a mini, interactive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) app for iOS that lets you explore how wings and airfoils behave in flight. Selected as a winner of Apple’s 2026 Swift Student Challenge, WingFlow makes aerodynamic concepts visual, interactive, and easy to understand. Features: • Choose from popular airfoil designs including: Trainer (based on the Cessna 172) Glider Utility (inspired by STOL aircraft) • Design your own airfoils in the Custom Wing Builder: Adjust camber, chord, and thickness See changes update in real time • Fine-tune simulation settings with interactive sliders: Airspeed Angle of attack Particle density (simulation load) • Watch live lift and drag gauges respond instantly to your changes • Tap tooltips (?) throughout the app to learn aerospace concepts and terminology Experiment, learn, and see the physics of flight come to life.

Verdict

The call

AeroRotationSim and WingFlow are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
