The effects of variations in Reynolds number between 3.0 x 10 to the power 6 and 25.0 x 10 to the power 6 upon the aerodynamic characteristics of a number of NACA 6-series airfoil sections

Laurence K Loftin, William J. Bursnall

Abstract

The results of an investigation to determine the two-dimensional lift and drag characteristics of nine NACA 6-series airfoil sections at three different Reynolds numbers and a comparison with a different report. The airfoils selected represent sections with variations in thickness, thickness form, and camber.
