Introduction
This article aims to explain the fundamental characteristics of NACA airfoils, particularly relevant for introductory aerodynamics students. First discussed is the basic theory behind airfoil geometry. Then, the Python implementation of these equations computes relevant numerical attributes for plotting a NACA 4-Series 2D wing profile using Matplotlib.
