ProfileBase.scale(factor)

Scale the airfoil coordinates according to a scaling factor.

In order to apply the scaling without affecting the position of the reference point, the method translates the airfoil by its refernce point to be centered in the origin, then the scaling is applied, and finally the airfoil is translated back by its reference point to the initial position.

Parameters:factor (float) – the scaling factor
