Abstract

The airfoil section is one of the most important wing parameter. Airfoil generates
lift distribution between top and bottom surfaces of the wing. 4 airfoils are
choosen for this study. NACA 6-series airfoils are preferred due to their good
aerodynamic properties. DesignFOIL , which is the airfoil design and analysis
software tool, is choosen to analyze selected airfoils.

and

data are obtained with varied Mach and Reynold number from this

analysis software. Maximum speed, stall speed and best range equations are
used to compare the results which are obtained from DesignFOIL. To correlate
connection between 2D airfoil and 3D wing for

value, an equation is

arranged. With the usage of this equation, aspect ratio, taper ratio sweep and
twist of the wing are obtained.
