This invention discloses a
high lift-to-drag ratio, long-endurance, low-speed airfoil, revealing its maximum relative camber, maximum
relative thickness, and the curve equations satisfied by its upper and lower edges. The origin of the coordinate
system containing the airfoil is defined as the
leading edge of the chord. The X-axis coincides with the chord line, pointing from the
leading edge to the
trailing edge of the airfoil. The Y-axis is perpendicular to the X-axis, pointing in the direction of the airfoil's curvature. The chord length is defined as C; therefore, the maximum relative camber is 6%C, and the maximum
relative thickness is 4.5%C. The airfoil of this invention exhibits a higher lift-to-drag ratio and a higher lift coefficient while maintaining a lower
drag coefficient. It reduces the weight of the wing structure, and its thin, curved shape results in a smaller internal wing cavity, optimizing aircraft weight while concentrating stress on the structure.
