QBlade is described as 'Open source wind turbine calculation software, which integrates XFOIL/XFLR5 functionality, and allows the user to rapidly design custom airfoils and compute their performance polars and integrate into rotor design and simulation' and is an app. There are four alternatives to QBlade for Windows and Linux. The best QBlade alternative is XFOIL, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like QBlade are javafoil, Profili 2 and xflr5.
