Wow. I was just wondering if there was something like this. A great start for building wings. Thanks for this.
One small issue though. If the third group is a single digit, the resulting name in the outliner is a three digit number.
What about the other series? There are hypenated ones too.
As for propellors, most are NACA airfoils. You’ll have to do research to determine the airfoil used, there are resources out there.
RickyBlender, like Corey said, most propellers are NACA airfoils, sometimes blending between multiple airfoils with different scales. It’s possible to add other NACA series. I did the 4-digit series because they are the simplest and most common. Feel free to add them yourself. I’m not sure if Blender allows for dynamic changes to the menu or not, but if so, then that would simplify having multiple series.
Corey, Thanks for pointing out the bug with object names, and I’m glad you have found it useful. See my response to RickyBlender about other NACA series.
