dc.description.abstract | A recent development of the NASA Airfoil Research Program is a family of new high lift, low drag airfoils for application on general aviation aircraft. This study analyzes one of these airfoils, the 13% thick GA(W)-2, as to its lift, drag, and pitching moment characteristics, and compares it to airfoils used on current production aircraft. The analysis includes the results of two-dimensional wind tunnel tests as well as theoretical calculations made using thin airfoil theory and a lifting surface method. | en |
