3D Terminal Velocity Manifold for a NACA-0012

The terminal velocity manifold in extended phase space for a airfoil with the lift and drag characteristics of a NACA-0012 airfoil from [1]. The blue points along the manifold represent stable equilibrium points and the red points represent saddle equilibria. Blue and red values along the manifold show the magnitude of acceleration.
