THE DEVKLOPMENT OF CAMBERED AIRYOTh SECTIONS KAVING FAVORABLE LIFT CHARACTERISTICS AT SUPERSONIC MACH NUMBERS By Donald J. Grnhmn STJMMARY Several groups of new airfoil sections, designated as the NACA 8-series, are derived analytically to have lift character- istics at supercritical Mach numbers which are favorable in the sense that the abrupt loss of lift, characteristic of the usual airfoil section at Mach numbers above the critical, is avoided.

Aerodynamic characteristics determined, from two-dimensional wind- tunnel tests at Mach numbers up to approximately 0.9 are presented for each of the derived airfoils. Comparisons are made between the characteristics of these airfoils and the corresponding character- istics of representative NPiCA 6-series airfoils.

The experimental results confirm the design expectations in demonstrating for the NACA S-series airfoils either no variation, or an Increase from the low-speed design value, In the lift coeffi- cient at a constant angle of attack with increasing Mach number above the critical. It was not found possible to improve the variation with Mach number of the slope of the lift curve for these airfoils above that for the NACA 6-series airfoils. The drag characteristics

of the new airfoils are sonlevhat inferior to those of the NACA 6—

series with respect to divergence with Mach number, but the pitching- moment characteristics are more favorable for the thinner new sections In demonstrating somewhat smaller variations of moment coefficient with both angle of attack and Mach number.

The effect on the aero&ynamic characteristics at high Mach numbers of removing the cusp from the trailing-edge regions of two 10-percent-chord-thick NACA 6-series airfoils is determined to be negligible.

The use of a negatively deflected plain flap at supercritical Mach numbers on an NACA 6—series airfoil is indicated to be a feasible and promising means for obtaining on demand the favorable variation with Mach number of the lift coefficient at a given angle of attack, characteristic of the NACA 8—series airfoils, while retaining at all other times the superior drag characteristics of the NACA 6—series type of airfoil.

INTRODUCTION The usual positively cambered airfoil sections exhibit two particularly undesirabl characteristics at supercritical Mach numbers. The angle of attack corresponding to the design lift coefficient increases rapidly with increasing Mach number above that for lift divergence, and the lift—curve slope decreases sharply at these Mach numbers. The effects of these character- istics on airplanes employing such wing sections is to alter, respectively, the longitudinal trim and the longitudinal stability and controllability in such a manner as to promote serious airplane.

diving attitudes, recovery from which may be extremely difficult with normal controls. (See reference 1.) On light highly maneu- verable aircraft, these characteristics can be avoided or satisfacto- rily coped with by the use of symmetrtcal airfoil sections and special controls. Neither of these means is advisable for large heavily loaded aircraft, however; the first, because in this case the air- foil must of necessity carry some design lift, and the second, because, as is stated in reference 1, the.trim changes occur so abruptly that the aircraft would be subjected to dangerously high accelerations before the controls could be reset. The logical means for avoiding the trim and stability changes on large airplanes is the employment of airfoil sections having no adverse changes with Mach number of the angle of attack for the design lift coefficient and of the slope Of the lift curve. The development of airfoils having such character- istics at supercritical Mach numbers has accordingly been made the subject of an intensive search.

Although it has not yet been found possible to control the variation with Mach number of the lift—curve slope, a means for achieving a favorable variation with Mach number of the lift of a positively cambered airfoil at the design attitude has been conceived by H. Julian Allen of the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory.

This principle has been employed to derive analytically a new group of airfoil sections, designated the NPLCA 8—series. The aerodynamic characteristics of these airfoils have been determined experimentally

Page 5

NCA N No. 1771 in the Ames 1— by 3-1/2--root high—speed wind tunnel, and the results have, in most cases, confirmed the design expectations. An account of the airfoil development, analy-tical and experimental, is the subject of the present report,.

It was observed early in the course of investigations of compressibility effects on airfoil characteristics that the initial loss in lift (sometimes termed the "shock stall") experienced at supercrltical 'Mach numbers was associated with the formation of a compression shock wave on the upper surface of an airfoil before the critical Mach number of the lower surface had been exceeded. It has been concluded that the loss in lift results from an effective change In the airfoil camber occasioned by a suddenly thickened boundary layer behind the shock wave on the upper surface while the boundary layer on the lower surface remains sensibly unchanged.

Previous research has been aimed at continuously increasing the Mach number of occurrence of the compression shock so as to delay the shock stall. In the present development the upper—surface shock wave is accepted, but the associated loss in airfoil lift is forestalled by inducing a corresponding shock, with accompanying boundary—layer growth, to occur on the lower surface.

It was reasoned that If the flow over both surfaces could be- kept similar at supercritical Mach numbers the net lift of an air - foil could. be maintained at an approximately constant design value.

To effect this result the respective minimum pressures on the upper and lower surfaces would have to be equal. Because the drag charac- teristics at supercritical Mach numbers would be adversely affected by simultaneous occurrence of compression shocks on the respective surfaces, It would be desirable to obtain the highest possible air- foil critical Mach number. It was further realized that, to produce a positive lift force on the airfoil at supercrltical Mach numbers under this condition, the position of minimum pressure would have to be located further aft on the lower surface than on the upper surface.

The respective upper— and lover—surface minimum pressures being equal, a more severe adverse pressure gradient would thus be imposed aft of the minimum pressure position on the lower surface, forcing a greater thickening of the boundary layer on this surface at Mach numbers above the critical. The effect of the thickened lower—surface boundary layer should compensate, to a degree depending upon the respective upper— and. lower—surface velocity distributions, for the upper—surface boundary—layer growth and result in either no change or an effectively positive change in the airfoil camber at Mach

NACA iN No. 1771 therefore concluded that, by numbers above the critical. It was suitably choosing the velocity distributions over the upper and have, at a lower surfaces, airfoil sections could be designed to given angle of attack, an approximately constant or an increasing lift at supercritical Mach numbers.

Following this line of reasoning, an initial group of three NACA 8—series airfoil sections, 16—percent--chord-thick, having different respective positions of minimum pressure (or maximum local velocity) on the upper and lover surfaces was designed and tested. The sections were derived in essentially the same n1mer as were the later families of NACA airfoils by combining mean camber lines with basic thickness forms to produce a desired veloc- ity distribution. Velocity distributions were selected to provide the desired aerodynamic characteristics at supercritical Mach numbers, and the airfoil shapes corresponding to these distributions were determined by the method of reference 2.

The first airfoil was proportioned to have equal upper— and lower—surface minimum pressures occurring at 30 and 50 percent of the chord, respectively. The base profile was obtained by combining proper fractions of the thickness forms of the NACA 63— and. 65—series airfoils and the "double—roof" profiles of reference 2. A mean camber line satisfying the condition of equal minimum pressures for the upper and lower surfaces was determined by combining suitable proportions of the NACA a=0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 mean lines. (See reference The ordinates of the mean camber line were adjusted to produce 3,) the desired design lift coefficient. The actual airfoil shape was then obtained by combining the base profile with the mean camber line, using the methods of references 2 and. 3.

In the described manner three airfoil sections were derived with different respective upper— and lower—surface minimum—pressure positions so located as to permit the effects of a variation of the severity of the lower—surface pressure recovery to be observed. The airfoils were designated as follows: NACA 835A2l6 NACA 836A216 NACA 811.7A216 The shapes and velocity distributiori.s for these airfoils are illus- - trated in figure 1.

The numbering system for these airfoila is identical with that for the NACA 7—series airfoils and is suimnarized given in reference

as follows: 1st digit - Airfoil series number 2nd digit - Position of minimum pressure on upper surface in tenths of chord from leading edge 3rd digit - Position of minimum pressure on lower surface in tenths of chord from leading edge Letter - Serial letter distinguishing airfoils having the same thicknes design lift coefficient and minimum pressure positions but different camber or thickness distributions Itth digit - Design lift coefficient in tenths 5th and 6th digits - Thickness—chord ratio in hundredths Tests of the Initial three airfoils revealed variations in lift coefficient with Mach number in the vicinity of the design lift coefficients which at supercritical Mach numbers differed in impor- tant aspects from the type of variation normally observed for airfoils.

The lift coefficient at a constant angle of attack increased markedly with Increasing Mach number above that for normal lift divergence as contrasted with the usually noted opposite variation. Instead of decreasing with increasing Mach number above that for normal lift divergence, the lift coefficient at a constant angle of attack increased, markedly with Mach number. This result confirmed the design expectations to a greater degree than anticipated, and indicated that great difficulty would be experienced in trimming an airplane using such wing sections at any but positive lift coefficients at.

supercrItical Mach numbers, an important safety feature for large heavily loaded aircraft. This characteristic was unfortunately accompanied by erratic variations with Mach number of the slopes of the lift curves, which are very undesirable fron the standpoint of airplane controllability.

The desired type of supercritIcal speed lift characteristic having been realized, efforts were directed toward the derivation of thinner sections with modified camber so as to produce less powerful lift changes at supercritical Mach numbers. A group of 10—percent--chord—thick profiles was accordingly derived from the NACA 836A2l6 airfoil, this section among those tested having the most favorable characteristics at low and moderate lift coefficients.

This second group of airfoil sections was composed of the following: NACA 836Allo NACA 836Bllo NACA 836db NACA 836Dllo The NACA 836A110 airfoil was scaled down in thickness from the NACA 836A216 airfoil and the camber line ordinates were adjusted to give a design lift coefficient of 0.1. Tests of this airfoil disclosed the need for modification of both the thickness and the camber distri- bution, the gain in lift at supercrltical Mach numbers still being greater than desirable.

It wasreasoned that, by decreasing the negative lift carried over the rear portion of the airfoil at subcritical Mach numbers, the change in the total lift of the airfoil at supercritical Mach numbers would be reduced. The NACA 836B1l0 airfoil was designed to effect this result by modifying both the mean camber line and the thickness distribution of the NACA 836All0 airfoil. The mean camber line for the former was obtained as the sum of equal propor- tions of the ordinates and slopes of the mean line for the latter aIrfoil, and of a uniform load (a=1.0) mean line, The upper— and lower—surface minimum pressures were maintained approximately equal by adding to one—half of the base profile ordinates of the NACA 836A1l0 airfoil, one—half of those for the NACA 66-oio airfoil.

The resulting changes in profile and velocity distribution may be noted from an examination of parts (d) and (e) of figure 1.

The NACA 836db airfoil was designed to investigate the effect on the supercritical speed aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA 836B110 airfoil of removing the cusp from the rear portion of the profile. The former differs from the NACA 836B1lo airfoil only in that the profile is linear over approximately the last two—tenths of the chord.

Tests of the NACA 836Bll0 airfoil indicated that the profile modification from the NACA 836All0 airfoil was effective in reducing the magnitude of the lift—coefficient increase at supercritical Mach numbers in the viôinity of the design lift coefficient.

Further improvement was still felt to be desirable, however, particu- larly in the slope of the lift curve at lift coefficients greater than the design value. A decrease in the severity of the pressure recovery over the lower surface (by decreasing the negative pressure peak) was indicated as a possible corrective measure. To test this

Page 9

The difference between the NACA 836BllO and 836Dno airfoils may be seen from figure 1 to be principally in the magnitude of the lower-surface minimum pressure.

To investigate the possibility of realizing Improved character- istics from more rearward minimum-pressure positions on both surfaces, three additional 10-percent-chord-thick sections were derived from.

the NACA 814.7A216 airfoil and were designated as follows: NACA 81i.7Allo NACA 814.7Bfl0 NACA 81i.7cllo The NACA 8'VTAllO airfoil was derived from the NACA 811-7A2l6 airfoil by reducing the base-profile ordinates o? the latter in the ratio of flfteen-slxteenths times the quotient resulting from the division of the ordinates of the NACA 66-oio airfoil by the ordinates for the NACA 662-015 airfoil, and. by reducing the camber line ordinates and slopes in the ratio 10:16. The NACA 81i7B1l0 airfoil was obtained by combining the sum of one-half of the base- profile ordinates of the NACA 8#7A110 airfoil and one-half of those for the NACA 6 14oio airfoil with the mean camber line consist- - ing of equal proportions of the slopes and ordinates of the mean line for the NACA 8 1 7Allo airfoil and of the uniform load mean line.

The NACA 8i.7C11O airfoil consists of the NACA 8Wuo airfoil with the cusp removed from the trailing-edge region of the latter by substituting straight lines for the portion of the profile from approximately the 80-percent-chord position to the trailing edge.

The ordinates of all of the airfoils investigated are given in tables I to X. The shapes and theoretical velocity d.istribu+,ions for all but the NACA 836db and. 8 1 7Cll0 airfoils (which differ but slightly from the NACA 836B110 and. 8147B1l0 airfoils, respectively) are Illustrated In figure 1.

It Is to be noted that negative d.eflections of a plain trailing- edge flap on an ordinary airfoil section would produce lower-surface velocity distributions approaching in character the distribution previously described for the new type of airfoil section with the reflexed mean camber line. The results of an investigation (also conducted in the Ames 1- by 3-1/2-foot high-speed wind tunnel) of an NACA 65-210 airfoil with a 20-percent--chord negatively deflected flap accordingly are presented and compared in the present report with those for the NACA B-series profiles.

Measurements of lift, drag, and. quarter-chord pitching moment were made as nearly simultaneous as possible at Mach numbers ranging from 0.3 to as high as 0.9 for each of the 0airfoils at angles of attack increasing by 20 increments from —6 to a maxm'mi of 120.

The Reynolds number variation with Mach number for the tests is expressed graphically in fIgure 2.

Lift and. pitching moments- were evaluated by a method similar to that described in reference 3 from integrations of the pressure reactions on the floor and. ceiling of the tunnel of_the forces on the airfoils. Drag values were determined from. wake-survey measure- - ments made with a rake of total-head tubes.

RESULTS AND DISCUSS ION Section aerodynRm-ic characteristics in coefficient form are presented as functions of Mach number in figures 3 to 47 for the NACA B-series airfoils, two representative NACA 6-series airfoils, and. the NACA 65-210 airfoil with a 20-percent-chord plain trailing- edge flap neutral and negatively deflected through 6°. All of the characteristics are shown corrected for tunnel-wall Interference by the methods of reference 4. The-dashed portions of the airfoil characteristics curves serve to indicate the extent of possibly unreliable data obtained in the close vicinity of Mach numbers for which the flow In the tunnel test section was choked, that is, for which the Mach number of unity was attained locally across the test section.

Characteristics of Initial. Three Airfoils It is seen from fIgures 3, 4, and.

with Mach number of the lift coefficient at constant angles of attack for the NACA 835A216, 836A2l6, and.

81 4 . 7A216 airfoils differ markedly from the vacriatións generally observed for ordinary airfoil sections.

An abrupt increase of large magnitude occurs in the lift coefficient at angles of attack within the normally useful range at Mach numbers above those for lift divergence in place of the customary decrease in lift coefficient. The difference in characteristics is emphasized in figure 6 which illustrates the variation with Mach number of the angle of attack required to maintain the design lift coefficient of 0.2 for each of these NACA 8-series airfoils, and for the NACA 652-217,

a=0.5, airfoil (reference 5), a representative NACA 6—series airfoil.

The explanation for the radical lift characteristics of the new airfoils is to be found in an examination of the theoretical low—speed velocity distributions of figure 1. At Mach numbers above the critical the strong adverse pressure gradient aft of the minimum—pressure position on the lower surface promotes a rapid thickening and separation of the boundary layer from this surface, resulting in the loss of an extensive portion of the negative lift carried over that'part of the airfoil.inimed.iately aft of the lower— surface minimum—pressure position. The Increasing extent of the separation on the- lower surface with increasing Mach number produces the increasingly positive variation of lift coefficient at constant angles of attack observed in figures 3, ii. , and 5.

The variation with Mach number of the lift' coefficient at low positive and. negative angles of attack, although favorable in the sense that the lift coefficient increases with Mach number rather than decreases, is. so violent for these three airfoils as to cause very erratic and. undesirable variations in the slope of the lift curve at the higher Mach numbers. (See fig. The variation of

7.)

the angle of attack necessary to maintain the desii lift coefficient of 0.2, although in the direction to promote safety at high Mach numbers for an airplane employing such airfoils as wing sections, has already been observed in figure 6 to be undesirably large. For these reasons it was concluded that the first airfoils were cambered too severely and that a modified amount of camber as well as a change In the distribution would produce less drastic changes in the lift coefficient with increasing Mach number.

The drag characteristics of the three airfoils (figs. 8, 9, and 10), as was expected, are much inferior to those of the NACA 6—series airfoils, as represented in reference 5 by the NACA 652-215, a=0.5 and NACA 66,2-215, a=0.6 airfoils, with respect to divergence with Increasing Mach number at low and moderate angles of attack despite allowance for the small difference in thicimess of the airfoils.

The variation of pitching-noment coefficient with Mach number for the NACA 835A216, 836A2l6, and 8 Ii.7A216 airfoils, shown in figures 11, 12, and 13, respectively, is consistent with the varia- tion of lift coefficient. The moment coefficients vary from positive values at low Mach numbers where negative lift is carried over the rearward portion of the airfoil to negative values at high Mach numbers where this negative lift is lost.

Characteristics of the NACA 836-110 Airfoils NACA 836A110.- Because current design trends indicate thinner wing sections for high Mach number applications, it was considered desirable to further the investigation on airfoil sections of 10- percent-chord maximum thickness. The effect of halving the amount of camber and decreasing the profile thickness of the NACA 836A216 airfoil may be seen from an examination of the characteristics of the NACA 836A110 airfoil.

The variation of lift coefficient with Mach number for this

airfoil (fig. 114 . )

is much less drastic at supercritical Mach numbers than that noted in figure 3 for the NACA 836A216 airfoil. The lift- curve_.slope variation with Mach number Is considerably improved for

the NACA 836A110 airfoil (cf. figs. 7

and 19), and the angle of attack required to maintain the lift coefficient at the design value (cf. figs. 6 and 20) is correspondingly reduced for the thin- ner lower-cambered profile. The latter variation is still uxidesir- ably large, however.

The differences in the lift characteristics of the NACA 836A110 airfoil and the NACA 614ll0 airfoil, as representative of the best NACA 6-series sections for high Mach number applications, may be seen from a comparison of figures 114. and. 18 to lie in the variations of lift coefficient with Mach number at small positive and negative angles of attack. The departure of the characteristics of the former airfoil from those usually observed for airfoil sections at supercritical Mach numbers is more strikingly illustrated in figure 20, depicting the variation with Mach number of the angle of attack required to maintain the design lift coefficient of 0.1 for the NACA 836-110 and 611110 airfoil sections.

The drag and pitching-moment charncteristics of the NACA 6i-ll0 airfoil section at high Mach numbers being unavailable at the present writing, these characteristics for the NACA 836A110 airfoil must be compared with thcse for the NACA 65-210 airfoil as the next most representative profile of the NACA 6-series airfoils available. The drag characteristics of the NACk 836A110 airfoil (fig. 21) compare unfavorably with those of the NACA 65-210 airfoil (fig.

25), parti- cularly at the angles of attack corresponding to the lover lift coefficients. Divergence not only occurs earlier for the former, but the drag coefficients at a given lift coefficient are higher.

From figures 26 and. 30, respectively, the pitching-moment coefficients for the NACA 836A1l0 airfoil, in additIon to being

Page 14

NACA TN Ro. 1771 more positive, exhibit a generally smaller variation with Mach number than do those fOr the NACA 65-210 aIrfoil.

NACA 836B110.- The NACA 836Bll0 airfoil was derived from the a mrer as to reduce the negative lift NACA 836AllO airfoil in. such on the afterportion of the airfoil at subcritical Mach numbers at the design lift attitude and to retain the approximately equal critical Mach numbers of the upper and. lower surfaces. The effect of these profile modifications on the lift-coefficient variation with Mach ]A arid. The variation number is shown by a comparison of figures 15.

in the vicinity of the desigLi lift coefficient is seen to be small for the NA.CA 836BU0 airfoil as compared with that for the NACA 836A110 airfoil. At angles of attack appreciably above and. below the ideal angle, the lift-coefficient variation resembles that observed for the NACA 6-series type of section. (See fIgs. 18 and 14.2 for the NACA 6l_li0 and. 65-210 aIrfoils.)

the slope of the lift curve at the A considerable increase in design lift coefficient Is observed in figure 19 for the NACA 836B110 airfoil over that of the NACA 836A110 airfoil for Mach numbers between 0.75 and. 0.85. The variation with Mach number of this parameter for the former airfoil is closely comparable to that for the NACA 614-110 airfoil. From figure 20, it can be seen that the variation with Mach number of the angle. of attack necessary to maintain the design lift coefficient for the NACA 836B110 airfoil is greatly reduced from that observed for the NACA 836All0 airfoil.

The drag characteristics of the NACA 836B110 airfoil (fig. 22), although considerably Improved, over those of the NACA 836All0 section, are still Inferior with respect to divergence with Mach the vicinity of the design lift coefficient to those of number in the NACA 65-210 airfoil when compared on the basis of equal lift coefficients for the two airfoils.

The variation In pitching-moment coefficient with Mach number (fig. 27) for the NACA 836Bll0 airfoil closely approaches that for result of the camber modification the NACA 65-210 airfoil,, as a frdm that of the NACA 836All0 airfoil.

NACA 836db.- This airfoil section was tested to determine the effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA 836Bll0 airfoil of removing the cusp from the trailing-edge region of the airfoil. Comparison of the respective variations with Mach number of lift, drag, and. pitching-woment coefficients (figs. 16, 23, arid.

28, respectively) for the NACA 836db airfoil with the corresporid.- lug variations for the NACA 836Bll0 airfoil reveals no significant

differences in the characteristics of the two sections.

NACA 836D110.- The NACA 836Dll0 airfoil was designed to investi- gate the effect of both decreasing the amount of negative design lift from that of the NACA 836A110 airfoil and raising the lower- surface critical Mach number above that of the upper surface (note theoretical velocity distribution, fig. 1) in an attempt to obtain a more favorable variation with Mach number of the slope of the lift curve. Figure 17 indicates the NACA 836D1lO airfoil to be the most promising of those yet discussed, virtually no variation with Mach number being manifest in the lift coefficient near the design value. This characteristic is reflected in the small variation with Mach number in the angle of attack required to maintain the design lift coefficient of 0.1. (See fig. 20.) With reference again to figure 17, the variation with Mach number of lift coefficient at constant angles of attack other than that. corresponding to the design lift coefficient indicated lift-curve slopes closely resembling those of the NACA 6-series airfoils as represented in fIgure 18.

Except at the higher lift coefficients, no inprovement in drag characteristics from those of the NACA 836B110 airfoil resulted from this profile modification.

The variation with Mach number in the pitchIng-nioment coeff I- óients of the NACA 836Dll0 airfoil (fig. 29) does not differ note- worthily from those for the other airfoils of the series.

811.7-110 Airfoils Characteristics of the NACA NACA 811.7A110.- The NACA 814.7AllO airfoil was derived from the NACA 8 l 4.7'A2l6 section by decreasing the thicimess and the camber-line ordinates in the same rner as was done in the case of the NACA 836Al10 airfoil. The lift-coefficient variation with Mach number (fig. 31) closely resembles that for the latter airfoil. The varia- tion with Mach number of the angle of attack required to maintain the design lift coefficient (fig.

is similar to that observed 35) for the NACA 836A1l0 airfoil (fig. 20).

The variation in drag coefficient. with Mach number (fig. 36) is more favorable for the NACA 811.7Afl0 airfoil than for the NACA 836A110 airfoil from the standpoint of divergence with Mach number at angles of attack in the vicinity of the ideal angle.

C) The pitching-1oment-coefficient variation with Mach number for the NACA 811.7AllO airfoil (fig. 39) is similar to that for the NACA 836A110 airfoil, but the moment coefficients are of smaller magnitude.

NACA TN No. ma NACA 814.7B110.- The lift characteristics of this airfoil, developed from the NACA 8 14.7A110 airfoil by decreasing the negative contribution to the design lift distribution and by decreasing the lower—surface pressure peak below that of the upper surface, are seen from figure 32 to be considerably improved over those of the latter airfoil. As in the case of the NACA 836D110 section, the variation with Mach number of the lift coefficient in the vicinity of the design value is indicated to be very small, and yet a reasonably satisfactory lift—curve slope is retained. (See fig. 314..) The variation with Mach number of the angle of attack for maintenance of the design lift coefficient (fig,, 35) is as favorable as that observed for the NACA 836D110 airfoil. A marked improvement In the variation of drag coefficient with Mach number at zero lift is noted from a comparison of figures 36 and 37 for the NACA 811-7A110 and 81VBli0 airfoils, respectively. For this condition the drag—coefficient variation of the latter airfoil is superior to that of the NACA 836D110 airfoil.

The superiority Is considerably reduced at the design lift.coefficient and disappears at the higher lift coefficients.

The variation in pitching—noment coefficient with Mach number for the NACA 814-7Blio airfoil (fig. 14.0) is observed to be very small in the vicinity of the design lift coefficient and parallels the characteristics of the NACA 836Dll0 airfoil in this respect.

NACA 814.7Cllo.— This airfoil was designed to investigate further the effects on the characteristics at high subsonic Mach numbers of removing the cusp from the trailing—edge.region of an airfoiL From figures 33, 314.

35, 37, 38, 14.0, and 14.1, the characteristics of the resulting airfoil are seen to be essentially the same as those of the cusped NACA 814.7BllO profile. From this and the similar result observed in the case of the NACA 836-110 airfoils it is concluded that for 10—percent—chord—thick airfoils of this type of section the aero- dynamic characteristics are not materially affected by removal of the cusp from the afterportion of the profile.

It is to be noted that in the case of both the NACA 836-110 and the NACA 814.7-110. airfoil developments the sections having the most favorable lift characteristics are those for which the negative portion of the design lift is small and for which the minimum pres- sure is somewhat lower on the upper surface than on the lower surface of the airfoil. The latter result is in contradiction to the design assumption that the upper— and lower—surface pressure peaks should be equal. Although it was not found possible to improve the lift- curve—slope rariation with Mach number for these airfoils over that

characteristic of the NACA 6—series airfoils, the . NA2A 836D110 and 8 11.7BiiO profiles are indicated to be the. equal of the NACA 6—series type in this respect. The drag characteristics of the best NACA 8—series airfoils thus far derived are not as favorable as those of NACA 6—series airfoils in that the drag—divergence Mach numbers are lover for comparable lift coefficients in the vicinity of the design lift coefficients. The pitching-noment characteristics of the more promising airfoils of the NACA 8—series are, if anything, superior to those of the NACA 6—series in that the variations of moment coefficient with Mach number are generally smR.11er for the former.

Characteristics of an Airfoil With a Negatively Deflected Flap From an examination of the lift characteristics of an NACA 65-210 airfoil section with a 20—percent--chord plain trailing—edge flap, a marked similarity was noted between the variation with Mach number of the lift coefficient at various angles of attack for a small negative flap deflection and the characteristics previously observed for the NACA 8—eeries airfoils. It would be very desirable to be able, by negatively deflecting a plain flap, to effectively reflex the camber of a wing section on an airplane in flight from the uniform load type at subcritical Mach numbers to something approaching that of an NACA 8—series profile at supercritical Mach numbers. To permit an appraisal of the characteristics of an airfoil with a negative1- deflected flap at high Mach numbers, the aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA 65-210 airfoil section with a 20—percent—.

chord plain flap undeflected, and. negatively deflected 6°, are 14.3, 14.6, and. 14.7, presented in figures 2, 25, and 30 and in figures respectively, for comparison with those of. the NkCA 8—series airfoils investigated.

The similarity between the respective variations with Mach number in the lift coefficient at a constant angle of attack for the NACA 65-210 airfoil with the flap deflected -6° and the NACA 836D110 and 814.7BllO airfoils is readily apparent from a comparison of figures 14.3, 17, and 32. The lift characteristics of the three .1 1. and li.5 depicting the airfoils are further compared in figures 14 respective variations with Mach number in the lift—curve slope and the angle of attack required to maintain the lift coefficient of 0.1.

The similarity between the latter characteristics for the airfoil with the negatively deflected flap and the two NACA 8—series airfoils is unmistakable.

The drag characteristics of the flapped airfoil (fig. 1 .

4 6) are similar to those of the NACA 836D110 and 814 . 7Biio airfoils. The pitching-moment characteristics of the three airfoils (figs. 14.7, 29, and. 40) also bear a close resemblance to one another.

The principle of reflexing the camber line by negatively deflect- ing plain trailing-edge flaps on NACA 6-series airfoils at super- critical Mach numbers to produce favorable variations in lift coeff 1- dent v1thincreasing Mach number on the strength of the results contained herein has already found important app1ication (in an expedient sense) on several high-speed airplanes and. merits further investigation.

C0NCL]DING REMARKS A new group of airfoil sections, de1gaated the NACA 8-series, has been developed having favorable'lift characteristics at super- critical Mach numbers. Through the use of negative camber over a portion of the airfoil chord it has proved possible to hold the lift coefficient of the new type of airfoil approximately constant at some design value with increasing Mach number to at least 0.9 Mach number, the limit of the present investigation. By suitably choosing the camber and thickness distributions for the airfoils, a particular variation with Mach number of the angle of attack required to maintain a given design lift coefficient can be obtained.

No means has been found for improving the lift-urve-slope character- - istics of .the NACA 8-series airfoils beyond. those of' the NACA 6-series sections. Although some control can be exercised over the drag and pitching-.moment characteristics of the former airfoil sections without adversely affecting the lift characteristics, it is generally necessary to accept drag characteristics somewhat poorer with respect to divergence with Mach number than those of the NACA 6-series air- foils presently used for high Mach number app1ication. The pitching- moment characteristics of the NACA 8-series airfoils are generally more favorable than those of the NACA 6-series airfoils in that the variations of pitching-moment coefficient with Mach number and angle of attack at supercritical Mach numbers are somewhat smaller for the former. - Flat-sided profiles may be used. in place of the cusped trailing- edge profiles on 10-percent-chord-thick NACA 8-series airfoils with- out significantly altering the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoils at superOritical Mach numbers.

The lift characteristics of the NACA 8-series airfoils at supercritical Mach numbers can be approximated with NACA 6-series

airfoils through the use of negatively deflected plain trai1ig- edge flaps. This application appears to be a promising means for obtaining on demand the favorable variation with Mach number of the lift coefficient at a given angle of attack, characteristic of the NACA 8-series airfoils, and yet retaining at all other times the superior drag characteristics of the NACA 6-aeries airfoils.
