Abstract

The low Reynolds number airfoils designated ASM-LRN-003 and -007 have been designed for high section L/D ratios using Drela's (1985) design-and-analysis code; close to 70-percent laminar flow is maintained on the upper surfaces, and 100-percent on the lower, at coefficients of lift of 1.0-1.3, assuming optimum laminar separation and transition control on the upper surface by means of suitable turbulators. If peak performance is critical, airfoils of this type with an undercut front lower surface and a correspondingly sharper leading edge may be resorted to.
