Abstract
Report presenting force, moment, pressure-distribution, and boundary-layer measurements for a series of five airfoil sections. The stalling characteristics of the three airfoil sections at low speeds can be separated into three types. A deeper discussion of the role of boundary-layer flow and separation processes in relation to stalling and the sensitivity of stall to factors that influence boundary-layer growth is provided.
