I am interested in developing an application that generates as output the points of an airfoil in rows, in which the row contains the airfoil data, in coordinates x1, y1 | x2, y2 | x3, y3 | From the website airfoilTools AirfoilData, I get the airfoil information in columns. The primary purpose is to generate a file containing a lot of airfoil points in rows Example
IIUC, you can use this oneline:
'|'+'|'.join([' '.join([str(y) for y in x]) for x in pd.read_csv('https://m-selig.ae.illinois.edu/ads/coord/n0009sm.dat', delim_whitespace=True).iloc[:, :-1].values])
Output:
