Concept explainers
The shape of a asymmetric four-digitseries NACA airfoil is described by the equations:
where the subscripts U and L corresponds to the upper and lower airfoil surface, respectively. ytis half the thickness of the foil given by:
where c is the cord length, t is the maximum thickness (as a fraction of the cord length), and x is the position along the cord, yc is the coordinate of the camber line given by:
