This is where Mecaflux shines. The software calculates the optimal twist and chord distribution along the blade. It shows you a graph of the "Angle of Attack" vs. "Glide Ratio." The goal? Keep every section of the blade at the optimal angle of attack to maximize lift.
You feed Mecaflux the basics: Wind speed (average 8 m/s), desired RPM, number of blades (3), and the airfoil type (e.g., NACA 4412). mecaflux
Have you used Mecaflux for a marine or wind project? I’d love to hear how your simulated performance curves matched your real-world testing. Drop a comment below or reach out on the forums.

You get a 3D rendering of your blade. You can see the pressure distribution, the local Reynolds number (critical for small turbines), and the flow vectors. "Glide Ratio
