CST Airfoil

Introduction

The CST (Class-Shape Transformation) airfoils or Kulfan airfoils are a family of airfoil shapes that are defined by a parameterization of the upper and lower curves. In most cases, users will likely begin with a desired airfoil shape and then use the “Fit CST” feature of chosen degree to approximate that shape. From there, the individual parameters of the upper and lower surface curves may be modified to achieve the desired profile.
