The wind tunnel test results are available in databases. One of the most famous is the NACA airfoil database. Hundreds of profiles have been tested in the wind tunnel. In these databases you will find all the information necessary to know the characteristics of a given profile.
you will find the links below, the data in tables that can be inserted in the profile editor mecaflux to calculate their lift and drag: Profiles and polar data:- Interactive database profiles Heliciel
