Abstract

Report presenting tests of a group of related NACA airfoil sections varying in maximum thickness, design lift coefficient, and thickness distribution in a two-dimensional open-throat wind tunnel at a range of Mach numbers. Normal-force, drag, and pitching-moment coefficients are presented with representative schileren photographs and pressure-distribution diagrams.
