Thank you, XFOIL had already been mentioned by Oliver too. I will first

I was not aware that anyone on this group might never have heard of
XFOIL ;-)

Airfoil coordinates, more than you can handle, are he

http://www.ae.uiuc.edu/m-selig/ads/coord_database.html

Some of the files are in XFOIL format (1 line with name, the rest
coordinates from the trailing edge over extrados, leading edge and
intrados back to the trailing edge), some are in Eppler format (1 line
with name, 1 line with number of coordinates, coordinates for extrados
from LE to TE, coordinates for intrados).

Enjoy!
