Paper arXiv 2503.16323PDF

Networks trained on XFoil results for about 7.9 million generated cases (56% converged) map an 18-parameter CST airfoil shape, angle of attack, Reynolds number and transition settings to lift, drag, moment and boundary-layer distributions. Symmetries are built into the architecture, known limit cases are blended in analytically, and a learned 'analysis confidence' output flags inputs where XFoil itself would struggle.
