Abstract:
A symmetrical 5 per cent. biconvex aerofoil has been tested from R = 0.3 x 10(to power 6) to R = 7.5 x l0(to power 6). No scale effect was found on Cz. To show the effect of camber, comparative curves are given for circular-back aerofoils. Cz .... increases linearly with camber from 0.7 for the symmetrical wing to 1.18 for a wing with 6 per cent camber. The aerofoil was also tested with a 15 per cent. split flap.
