Description

Work has been done in GitHub issues, the Google Group, and Discord on airfoils. Other software packages like OpenSCAD have airfoil libraries, and it makes sense for CadQuery to have a plugin to generate common types of airfoils.

Link to a library of airfoil sections: https://github.com/winksaville/py-airfoils
