airfoil is Nasa/langley hsnlf(1)-0213

1. Step 1:

   create a new plane..., name it Tip
   

   

2. Step 2:

   create a new plane..., name it Root
   

   

3. Step 3:

   create a new plane..., name it Connector
   

   

4. Step 4:

   create airfoil shape in right plane, with AOA of 8 degrees
   

   

5. Step 5:

   create airfoil shape in Tip plane, with AOA of -6 degrees
   

   

6. Step 6:

   create airfoil shape in Root plane, with AOA of 0 degrees
   

   

7. Step 7:

   create circle in Connector plane,
   

   

8. Step 8:

   use loft...
   

   

9. Step 9:

   add fillets
   

   

10. Step 10:

    add more fillets
    

    

11. Step 11:

    final shape...
