Abstract

Profile design for aircraft lift-wings in general aviation up to flight speeds of about 700 km/h, the profile design being determined by the path of the center line with a forward (first) and rear (second) camber maximum and with a profile droplet superposed on the center line and of a specific thickness distribution, and by the design of the profile nose to have a relatively small nose radius and relatively strong camber.
