The design of two dimensional subsonic airfoil sections is discussed. The NASA identification system for airfoil configurations is explained. The aerodynamic characteristics of various airfoil configurations are plotted in graph form. The two approaches to airfoil design are analyzed. The principal requirements in airfoil design for aerodynamic performance and geometric profile are identified. The application of wind tunnel tests to determine the characteristics of the airfoil is reported. (Author)
