I'll look into it, maybe i can make those plots for you using a vortex panel method on the profile of the airfoil.
I'll keep you posted.

Polar graphs for lift, drag and moment. Basically the data for a JSBSim
config. I don't consider it a real high priority because there a is a
pretty good YASim config in existence. It would be nice though to have a
YASim and JSBSim version of the plane.

what kind of data would you like to obtain from those profiles?

Those aren't polar graphs. They are the airfoil cross sections. (I
actually used them to make the .ac model) I know that you can get polar
data from them, I just don't think that it will realistically ever get
done. I might be wrong, but hey. I originally considered doing some CFD
on them, but I could not find any linux program that I could grok to do
this (I never got x-foil to work right) and I didn't want to install
windows just to run some of the easier software.

I think we can "wing it" fairly accurately (pun intended). But, it will have
to wait a while.

Fraid not. There is a specific Boeing airfoil used in the B-29 and it's
variants, i think it's the 319. Anyway, there doesn't seem to be any
freely available data on it, much like all Boeing airfoils.

I believe I have a Connie patch in my queue.
