Airfoil file *.dat - Data File

Files *.dat (Selig format) or *.cor(coordinate file)

The first line describes the airfoil.
The format is X Y :

line for X 1.000000 0.9xxxxx .... 0.xxxxx .... 0.9xxxxx 1.000000

information Y 0.xxxxxx 0.xxxxxx .... 0.xxxxxx .... -0.xxxxxx 0.xxxxxx

about the airfoil Start - Trailing Edge along top surface (Extrados) towards Leading Edge Leading Edge along bottom surface (Intrados) back towards Trailing End - back to Trailing Edge

For top surface, Y is positive.
For bottom surface, Y is negative if it is under the reference line.
Between the x et y coordinates, the separator is at least one space

Attention :
- The first X must be 1.
- The last X must be 1.
