This screen controls the printing of the airfoil(s). 


Airfoil Name 

Airfoil name of currently selected airfoil.


Measurement Units

select millimetres or inches by clicking on the appropriate  radio button.


Airfoil Chords to Print

Enter different airfoil chord lengths to print .These chord lengths are stored in a database table within WINFOIL.


T/C%  Airfoil Thickness as a percentage

Enter a different thickness percentage to vary the thickness of the printed airfoil. 
This setting will override the default airfoil thickness.
To reset the thickness to the original value, click on the RESET button.


Print Resolution 

Varying this will alter the degree of accuracy of the airfoil plot.

10 - rough plot , 100 - fine plot.

Increasing this number will also increase the time required to plot the airfoil.


Skin Thickness

Depending on the value given an outline will be plotted on the airfoil indicating a wing skin.


Print Options


Print Airfoil Name

Select this option to print the Airfoil Name.


Print Grid

Select this option to print a grid on the airfoil indicating the chordwise stations in 10 percent intervals.


Print X Station

Select this option to label the chord wise station intervals. 


Print Chord Length 

Select this option to print the chord length in the selected unit of measurement.


New Page after each

Select this option to print a new page after each airfoil is plotted. If this option is not checked then Winfoil will automatically print each airfoil one after the other and start printing on a new page when necessary.


Print Preview

This feature allows the airfoils to be previewed before printing.


Print to Clipboard Button

This feature enables airfoils to be sent to the clipboard. Airfoil size is limited to screen size so if multiple airfoils are printed only those which fit on one screen size will be captured.


Print to DXF File Button

This feature was added in Version 2.0.4

DXF FILEPRINT_TO_DXF_FILE


Cancelling the Print Job

A dialogue box will appear after the PRINT BUTTON is clicked on indicating the progress of printing.

You may cancel the print job at any time by clicking on the CANCEL button or if this dialogue box has disappeared by deleting the print job in PRINT MANAGER.


Winfoil can now cater for airfoils longer than the paper size. It will automatically 'tile' the

printed airfoil over multiple pages.


Use the PRINT SETUP COMMANDPRINTER_SETUP_COMMAND  in the File menu to change the print orientation to Landscape or Portrait .
