The Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage Page 1 The Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage David Lednicer Analytical Methods, Inc. 2133 152nd Ave NE Redmond, WA 98052 [email protected] Last update 3/6/2002 what's new Frequently, the question arises as to what airfoil or airfoils were used in the wing design of a particular aircraft. Jane's All The World's Aircraft has been a good source of this information, but in many cases (particularly military aircraft) it doesn't list this information. To answer this perennial question, the following list has been created. Besides conventionally configured aircraft, canard configured aircraft, tandem wing aircraft, three-surface aircraft, helicopters, tilt rotors and autogyros are addressed. This list is titled as "Incomplete", as there are many aircraft that are still not included. Many of the airfoils listed below can be found at the companion site:UIUC Airfoil Data Site. A note: this list has grown to the point where it is quite large. For this reason, it takes a while to load. I apologize for the inconvenience but assure you that the wait is worth it! On designations: many of the airfoils listed here have "mod" at the end of their designation. Typically, this means that either the camber line has been modified, the leading edge contour has been modified or that the trailing edge thickness has been changed. Some common airfoil name prefixes and their designers are: ARA - the Aircraft Research Association, Ltd. in Britain Clark - Col.
