NeuraFOIL

Features
Read full description

NeuraFOIL brings AI-assisted airfoil analysis to your hand. Meet the first neural network-powered aerodynamic tool designed for engineers, students, and aerospace enthusiasts who want real insights instantly on their iPhone or iPad. Explore NACA 4-digit airfoils by entering the airfoil code, angle of attack, and Reynolds number. NeuraFOIL instantly visualizes the geometry and predicts pressure coefficient, skin-friction coefficient, lift coefficient, and drag coefficient using an on-device Core ML model trained from OpenFOAM CFD simulations. Full data export to CSV for post-processing in Python, MATLAB, or Excel is available. Designed for students, engineers, makers, and aerodynamic enthusiasts, NeuraFOIL makes it easy to compare airfoil behavior, test design ideas, and build intuition about how geometry and flow conditions affect aerodynamic performance. Predictions run locally on your device, so results are fast and available without an internet connection. NeuraFOIL is ideal for learning, early-stage exploration, and quick aerodynamic comparison. It is not intended to replace validated CFD, wind-tunnel testing, or certified engineering analysis.
