Can anybody shed some light on the accuracy of the airflow around the fuselage on the attached image? The wing is based on the GM15 foil. Rest of the details is in the picture. The modeling was done with XFLR5.

Does the results of lift, drag etc look credible?

The numbers look correct to me at a first glance. I would have to do the analysis myself to verify, but everything looks reasonable.

Will it help if I send you the XFLR5 file on this?

I need to check if I have XFLR5 on my laptop, but I probably would not get to it until this weekend at the earliest.

you have to render the fuse in polygon , the spline mode you are displaying is not included in the vortex lattice and is not calculated
