May i include a remark regarding the fdm:
For some reasons, you may want to use jsbsim , if you are missing the tunnel data, most of the Aircraft specifications gives you the airfoil identification ( root and tip ).
There is an existing great tool which calculate Lift, Drag, Pitch moment, ..... against the given airfoil id.
There is a lot of others parameters which are required as input ( Reynolds , Mach, AOA range ... )
The output are graphs and values.
Here the tool it is XFOIL based.
http://xflr5.sourceforge.net/xflr5.htm
I experienced, using it with Linux.
You will notice, it is built available for MAC, MSWindows, and Linux. The source is also available.
EDIT: I forgot, xflr5 is not only closed to the Airfoil spec calculation, but opened to others features about the Airplane which are very interesting.
