search_airfoils — Search the foil.tools library of ~1,600 airfoils by name substring, family, thickness and camber range.
get_polar — Get stored aerodynamic polars (lift/drag/moment curves) for an airfoil from the foil.tools database.
search_by_operating_point — Rank database airfoils by drag at a single operating point (CL, Re), interpolating each stored polar at the target CL.
find_airfoil — Multi-point airfoil selector: scores every database airfoil against a weighted set of operating points (Re, CL pairs) and returns the top 10, with per-point matched drag/alpha/moment.
analyze_airfoil — Run NeuralFoil 2D analysis to generate fresh polars (alpha, CL, CD, CM) for an airfoil at given Reynolds numbers.
optimize_airfoil — IPOPT/scipy gradient optimization of an airfoil’s CST parameters to minimize weighted drag across one or more operating points (Re, CL), with optional geometric constraints.
analyze_wing — Analyze a 3D wing (AeroSandbox AeroBuildup strip theory, or VLM) defined by spanwise stations.
purchase_credits — Create a Stripe Checkout URL to buy a credit pack for the account this session is authenticated as.
