Class Airfoil

source code

An airfoil definition. It can be defined in two different manners. In the first case, it can handle lift and drag coefficients according to the angle of attack. In the second case, it can handle lift fully attached, lift fully separated and drag coefficients according to the angle of attack. The difference between the two definitions will be set in the set_lift method.
