This is a little add-on to import an airfoil dat file into blender. Simply click 'Add Airfoil' in the File/Import menu. The add-on currently supports the only the Selig format of dat files which seem to be the most common. A huge variety of airfoil dat files are available on airfoiltools.com. This addon is part of a larger project to provide Geometry Node tools for the design of 3D printed, radio controlled model aircraft. An instruction video is available here:https://youtu.be/Db_BlpDWU3M?si=S_bSsUxuHrI6dPeD
Updated for the Blender Extensions Platform.
This extension does not require special permissions.
Thank you for the submission Ian, I love add-ons that allow me to learn something new :)
Your add-on is approved, but I wanted to give you feedback on UI that might help with it being better integrated into Blender's UI.
Since this is import operator it maybe (also) suited for File > Import menu, people who have not seen the tutorial might expect it there. And if you also decide to leave it in Add menu, I would suggest removing word 'Add' from the title and leaving it just "Airfoil", to better fit with other items in the same menu
