Aerofoil representation
British Practice:
Aerofoil built around basic circular or parabolic camber line
12C4/35 P30 Denotes an aerofoil for which the maximum thickness to chord ratio(t/c) is 12%, C4 denotes
the base profile, 35 is the camber angle in degrees, P denotes a parabolic arc camber line and 30 is the
percentage of the chord from the leading edge where maximum camber occurs.
American Practice:
Series of aerofoils developed by NACA
A series of camber lines used, each associated with design lift coefficient (C LO) of a single aerofoil.
NACA 65-(12)10
Camber line corresponding to CLO=12/10=1.2 and a profile shape 65 with approximate 10% thickness.
Ordinates for other camber are obtained by direct scaling in proportion to the camber CLO
