Metrology Minute – Airfoil Analysis Using Control X

By |February 7th, 2023|Metrology Minute|

Analyzing airfoil shapes is easier than ever using the Control X Airfoil Analysis technology. Upon completion of scanning the airfoil and aligning with the nominal CAD model, the software is able to return dozens of useful parameters, necessary for complete airfoil analysis. Some of the parameters include:

Leading and trailing edge radii
