Introduction
Wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic
energy from the wind into mechanical energy.
The smallest turbines are used for applications such as
battery charging or auxiliary power on sailing boats.
Large grid-connected arrays of turbines are becoming an
increasingly large source of commercial electric power.

NACA 4412
The NACA airfoils are airfoil shapes for aircraft wings
developed by the National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics (NACA).

Lift, drag and moment coefficients
The lift is the force used to overcome gravity and the higher the
lift the higher the mass that can be lifted off the ground.
In order to maintain a constant speed the drag must be balanced
by a propulsion force delivered from an engine, and the smaller
the drag the smaller the required engine.
