• Abstract: We prove mathematically that in order to avoid point-optimization at the sampled design points for multipoint airfoil optimization, the number of design points must be greater than the number of free-design variables. To overcome point-optimization at the sampled design points, a robust airfoil optimization method (called the profile optimization method) is developed and analyzed. This optimization method aims at a consistent drag reduction over a given Mach range and has three advantages: (a) it prevents severe degradation in the off-design performance by using a smart descent direction in each optimization iteration, (b) there is no random airfoil shape distortion for any iterate it generates, and (c) it allows a designer to make a trade-off between a truly optimized airfoil and the amount of computing time consumed. For illustration purposes, we use the profile optimization method to solve a lift-constrained drag minimization problem for 2-D airfoil in Euler flow with 20 free-design variables. A comparison with other airfoil optimization methods is also included. ...

• An airfoil is a device which gets a useful reaction from air moving over its surface. When an airfoil is moved through the air, it is capable of producing lift. ...
• The forward part of an airfoil is rounded and is called the leading edge. ...
• An important application of this phenomenon is made in giving lift to the wing of an airplane, an airfoil. The airfoil is designed to increase the velocity of the airflow above its surface, thereby decreasing pressure above the airfoil. Simultaneously, the impact of the air on the lower surface of the airfoil increases the pressure below. ...
• The airfoil (in this case, your hand) was deflecting the wind which, in turn, created an equal and opposite dynamic pressure on the lower surface of the airfoil, forcing it up and back. ...
• Due to the bump of the airfoil, the space is smaller and the molecules must go faster. ...

• Airfoil Selection.
• In this article, I will attempt to clarify some of the issues associated with the airfoil selection process, especially as it relates to the general aviation and homebuilt arena. ...
• One day, when I was trying to make a bit more than I should have of selecting an airfoil, he related to me the following story.
• During the wing design phase of the Skyhawk development, a junior engineer was assigned the task of designing the airfoil section for the delta planform. ...
• The exercise was done in order to show the junior engineer (and later myself) that the choice of airfoil in many applications is not all that critical and for the most part is not worth the expense of starting from scratch.
• Granted, the example uses a delta planform which is not very sensitive to airfoil shape, but over the years I've found that the same argument holds true for many applications in the general aviation arena, especially for the smaller, light aircraft most commonly encountered in the homebuilt industry. ... We have file folders big enough to choke a mule, stuffed full of various airfoil shapes and design reports, in addition to publications and papers dealing with the subject. ...
• First, what does an airfoil do? When built into a wing planform it keeps your airplane airborne, right? Right. Will any practical airfoil do that? Yes. ...
• You should also know how a particular airfoil affects the various aspects of your airplane's design. ...
• Notice that some of the new airfoil shapes (NLF, LS, GAW) developed supposedly for general aviation, have pitching moments almost ten times that of some of the older sections. ...
• It is therefore beneficial to select an airfoil with minimal section pitching characteristics.
• For example, assuming a smaller wing was installed using an older airfoil: The benefits of high Cl cruise would still be realized but, if the cruise lift coefficient is. ...
• From a climb performance perspective, this would make the airfoil behave well on lightly loaded wings where the climb lift coefficient would not exceed about. ...
• Coupled with good lift characteristics and a gentle stall, this airfoil would be excellent for a variety of airplanes and performance envelopes.
• A number of airfoils get an additional amount of lift by having a cusp located near the trailing edge (rear loaded airfoil). This works well for generating lift but it does two things which are not as desirable; first of all it gives the airfoil a higher pitching moment coefficient; second, it makes control surfaces feel heavy, making the airplane seem somewhat sluggish or heavy-handed. ...

• The main attention during design phasis aimed for long laminar run on airfoil lower surface at high speed (cl=0. ... This is the basis to achieve low airfoil drag at highspeed. ... We have here an airfoil that provides a lot of lift (CLmax) despite very low drag at low CL! The direct consequence is an extremely wide area of application! Now the F3B designer should become poorely soundproofed among us, because the secret of the MH-32 is reasonable just this.

• This was probably induced by the airfoil. ...
• The model with the origin airfoil had some problems in holding course and there was an interesting effect on height axis: when hard gusts came in, the model swang for 1-2s! The thinner airfoil in same conditions (parallel runs) was faster and did not show this swinging. ... This was the final reason for using the thinned airfoil for my F5B contest model. ...
