WingFlow

Computational fluid dynamics in your pocket. Simulate airflow, lift, and drag.

WingFlow is a mini, interactive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) app for iOS that lets you explore how wings and airfoils behave in flight. Selected as a winner of Apple’s 2026 Swift Student Challenge, WingFlow makes aerodynamic concepts visual, interactive, and easy to understand.

Features:

• Choose from popular airfoil designs including:

Trainer (based on the Cessna 172) Glider Utility (inspired by STOL aircraft)

• Design your own airfoils in the Custom Wing Builder:

Adjust camber, chord, and thickness See changes update in real time

• Fine-tune simulation settings with interactive sliders:

Airspeed Angle of attack Particle density (simulation load)

• Watch live lift and drag gauges respond instantly to your changes

• Tap tooltips (?) throughout the app to learn aerospace concepts and terminology

Experiment, learn, and see the physics of flight come to life.
