Abstract
Experimental data have been obtained for three widely different aerofoils. In historical order they are the Göttingen 797, NACA 643–418, and Wortmann FX63-137. Four modified versions of the Wortmann section have also been tested in which the undercamber was progressively removed. Force and pressure measurements have been taken to determine aerofoil performance, whilst flow visualisation has been used to detect transition and separation. The Reynolds numbers ranged from 3 × 105 to 1 × 106.
Most of this research has been funded by the Ministry of Defence, but the views expressed are solely those of the authors. Copyright © Controller HMSO, London, 1985.
