- Abstract
Python is a remarkable interpreted level, open-source, and higher-level general-purpose programming language. In this paper, Python is introduced as a regulated programming language as to make use of it to analyze engineering problems and extract results in the form of a document or in a systematic graphical representation. The purpose of this paper is to extract the coordinates of the 4-digit NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) 0012 airfoil by solving the airfoil equation using python. The main intention of this spadework is to use python to simplify the calculation, extract the airfoil coordinates in the form of a CSV file, and generate the graph for the respective. The tiny changes in these airfoil designs can alter the overall efficiency of the plane or a turbine or another machine where this is used. Each airfoil has its own advantages and disadvantages depending upon the application of the airfoil. NACA 0012 is one of the basic airfoil shapes used in the airplanes. These airfoil designs help the plane in stability, speed control, and landing of the flight. The designed airfoils are tested for the fluid flow over the airfoil using computational fluid dynamics or simply fluid dynamics through which the efficiency or the suitability of the airfoil is checked.
