NACA PJv1 No . L6JOl ] . ~'3i_c thickne . ss form.Q . - The theoretical methods by .Thich the basic thickess forms of the NACA 6-series family of ail'foi l sections I,rere derived so as to have pressure distributions of a specified type are described in reference 1. The process of removing the trail i ne - ecige cusp ,'las accomplished by increasing the value of the airfoi l design parameter \j: ( reference 1) corresponding to the rear portion of the airfoil until the airfo::'l ordinates formed a straight l ine from a'pproximately 80-percent chord to the trailing edge . Once the fin a l. form of the -..!,' curves w'as establiohed , the now pressure cl_istribut5 . ons Gor-responc1.ing to the modified thickness forms were calculatod by the usual methods described in reference 1.

it comparison of the tbeoreticru l:rr'essure distributions of an NACA 6~-012 airfoi l section and an NACA 64 A012 airfoil section l ( fig . 1) indicates that remo v ing the trailing-edge cusp has but little effect upon the velocities around the section. A slight "-'ed1l.ction of the peak negative prescure and flatter pressure gradient over the ronTard and rear portions of the airfoil s ection seem to be the principal effects . The tbeoretical crucvlations also indicate the presenc~ of a trailing-eclEe stagnation point caused by the finite trdling-edge angle of the NACA 6A-series sections.

This stagnation point is , of course, never reali zed experimentally.

Ordinates and theoretical pressure-distribution data for IiiACA 6..\-series basic thickness forms having the position of mir~um pressure at 30-, 40 -, and 50-percent chord are presented in fig1ll ' es 2 to 16 for a:.i.:r'foH th i ckness ratios of 6, 8, 10, 12, fu'J.d 15 percent . If inte:rm.ediate thickness ::catios involving a cha.nge in thickness of not more than 1 to 2 percent rone desired, the ordinates of the basic thickp..6sS forms m8JT be scaled linearly .rithout seriously altering the gradients of the theoretical pressure distribution .

. M~'§'!Lline. - In oj.~d.er that the addition of cmber not change tho press~lre gradients over '0he basic thiclmess form , a mean line shoul~ be used which causes uniform load. to be carried from the leading edge to a point at least as far back as the position of min.i.:m:um pressure on the basic thidmess form . The usual practice

is to camber NACA 6-se1'ieo airfoil sections vri th the a = 1.0 type

of mean l i11e because this mean line appears to be best for high ,.

max:iJ:n.um lift coefficients a.Tld , contrary to theoTetj.cal predictions, does not cause excessive quarter - chord pitching-moment coefficients .

The a = 1.0 typo mean line was not considered desirable , ho,fever, for the NACA 6ft- series basic thickness forms because the sv.rfa c es of the cambered airfoil sections vTould be cur v ed near the trailing edge . The type of mean line best suited for maintaining (~ I [ NA CA RM No . L6JOI straight s1des on these newer sections wov~d be one that is pe r fe ct l y straight £'rom 80-percent cho!'d to the trai l ing ed.?;e . Su ch a caniber

ti on of the effect of mean-line load_ing upon the maximum l if t coefficient indicated, ho,'rever , that a mean l ine having a uniform 10aU distribution as far back al ong the chord as possi bl e was desirab le.

It was f01md , that the a = 0.8 t~rpe mean line c ould b e made straight

from approximate l y 85-percen-c chord to the trai l ing edge wi thout causing a sharp bre1Jk in the mean l ine and i,d_th very l ittle curvature betw-een 80 - percent and 85 - percent cho:c'd. . The aerodynamic advantages of using this InGan l ine in preference to one having uniform load to 70-percent chord were considered to be more important than the

slight curvature existing in the modifie~ a = 0 . 8 mean line . Fo r

this reason , Dll canwered NACA 6A - series airfoi l sect i ons have employed the a = 0 . 8 ( modified) mean l ine .

The ordi..Tlates and load-distribution data corresponding to a design lift coefficient of 1.0 are presented in fi.:;uro 17 for the

a = 0 . 8 ( modified) mean lino. The ordinatos of' a neaD. line having

any arbitrary deeign lift coeffiCient m~ be obtained simply by multiplying the ordina-cos prosented by the desired design lift coeffici~nt .

Cambered airfoils . - The method used for carabel'i ng the basic thickness distributions of figures 2 to 16 'ivith the mean line of figul'e 17 is described and discussed in references 1 and 2. It consists essentially of 10\{ing out the ordinates of the basic thickness forms normel to the mean line at corresponding stations .

A discussion of the method effij:l l oyed for combining the theorotical press'..U'e-distrib'-ltion data , pr.-esented in figu.res 2 to 17 for the mean line and basic thickness distribution , to give the approximate theoretical preSS1-1..Te distribution about a cambered or symmetrical airfoi l section at aD~ l ift coefficient is given in roference 1 .

DISCUSSION Although tl:.e 8m.ovnt of systematic aerodynamic data presented for NACA 6A - series airfoil sections is not large, it i s enough to indicate the relative morits of the NACA 6A - series Birroil sections as compar ed with the NACA 6 - series sections . The variation of the important aerodynamic characteristil;s of the five NACA 64A-·series airfoils ,vi th the pertinent geometrical parameters of the airfoils is shO"tm in f i gvres 25 to 31 , togethor vTith comparable data for NACA 64 - series ail~foils . The curves shown in fi rres 25 to 31 are for the NACA 64 - series airfoil sections and are taken from the faired data. of reference 1. The experimental points which appear on those figures represent the results obtained for the NACA 64A- series a'rfoil sections in the present investigation . S inc e only two NACA 63A-series sections were tested , comparativo results are not presented for them . The effect of removing the cusp fra.il1 the NACA 63-series sections is about the same us tha~ of removing the cu s p from the NACA 64-series sections.

The compare.tive date. shovring the effects upo n the aerodJrnamic characteristics of removing the trailing-edge CUBp from NACA 6-series airfoi l sections should be ap:plied with caution i f the cusp removal is affected in some maTLTler other than that indicated . earlicr in this paper . For 6 xaLlple, i f the cusp should be removed from a cambered airfoil by means of a straight-line fairing of the airf oil surfaces, the amount of camber lvc uld be dec:ceased ncar the trai ling edge . Naturally , the effect upon the aerodynamic characteristics of removing the cusp in such a manner would not be the same as in di c ated. by the comparative results presented for NACA 6- series and 6A -s cries airfoils .

A comparisan of the maximum lift data f or NACA 64A-series airfoil sections, with similar data for NACA 64 - series airfoil sections , presented in fiGtrrcs 18 to 24 , indicates that the scale - effect chm'actelAistics of the tw'o types af section are essentially the same for the range of Reynolds number from 3 x 1 0 6.

the theoretical meaD- line data presented in figure 1 7 and in reference 1.

The results obtained for the NACA 24 - , 44 -, anti 230-series aii:foi l sections (referdnoe 1) reveal that the effect of increa s ing trai ling-e dge ancle predominateG over the effect of increaeing thickness bec ause the position of

the aerodynamic center moves forward 1.n th increa8ing thickness ratio

for ther:e airfoil seetions . For the NACA 6L~A- ser ie s airfoils ( fig . 3 1) the aerodynamic conte :: is slightly behind the CluaJ..'ter- chord point and does not appeel" to vary \- ri th incro 2.s i1"-8 thi c kness.

These reS'lJlts suggest that the oIJPosite ef::ects of increa s in g thickness and trailing-edge angle counterbalance eecll o ther for these air fo il sections .

CONCLU S IONS From a tvro-dimensional vind.- tun.Tlel inyest1ga"c10n of the aerodynamic char ac toristics of five NACA 64A-series and two NACA 63P--series air f oi l sectj . ons the fo lloviin g con c lu s ions based N A CA RM No. L6JO I 11 6 6 upon dat a ob tai n ed at Reyno l d~ ntunbers of 3 x 10 , 6 x 10 , an d 9 X 1 0 may be drawn: 1 . The sectio n minimum drag and maximum l ift coe ffici e nts of correspo n ding NA C A 6- series and 6A - se ries airfoi l sections are essentially the same .

2. The l ift - curve sl opes of smooth NACA &-1 - 8er ie s airfoi l seceions appear to be essent.ial l y independent of airfoi l thi c kn e ss ratio , in con t ra st to t he trends shovm by NACA 6- sories airfo il sect i ons . The addi tion of standard l eading - edge roughness causes the l ift - curve slope to decrease with increasing airfoi l t h ick n ess ratio for NACA 6A - serie o airfoil sections .

3. The sectio n angles of zero lift of NACA 6A - series ai rfo il sections are sli gh tl y mo re ne ga tive than th o se of comparabl e NACA 6- series airfoil se ction s .
