Much kudos in advance!
This is a service provided by Jeppesen and the likes, they take tab/graphical data and turn it into algorithmic/equation based data. The output format is known as SCAP, or standardised Coputerised Aircraft Performance. There are standards set for the assurance of this, so its not a case of getting on excel and just doing a best fit to a curve.
Its also expensive - however, manufacturers can often have this data and will resell on as a service. i suspect though that you will be shipocked at the price- aviation isnt cheap!
