English: Potential-flow streamlines around a NACA 0012 airfoil at 11° angle of attack, with upper and lower streamtubes identified. Computed using the Wolfram Demonstrations Project Code Potential Flow over a NACA Four-Digit Airfoil by Richard L. Fearn and beautified in Adobe Illustrator CS3.
TT: the maximum thickness in percent of chord, as in a four-digit NACA airfoil code. For example, the NACA 23112 profile describes an airfoil with design lift coefficient of 0.3 (0.15 × 2), the point of maximum camber located at 15% chord (5 × 3), reflex camber (1), and maximum thickness of 12% of chord length (12).
English: Selected airfoils in nature and various vehicles, with their approximate chord length indicated. Sources for the shapes of the airfoils: Low-speed ULM wing: drawn over own photo of low-cost, low-speed ultralight
For example, an airfoil of the NACA 4-digit series such as the NACA 2415 (to be read as 2 – 4 – 15) describes an airfoil with a camber of 0.02 chord located at 0.40 chord, with 0.15 chord of maximum thickness. Finally, important concepts used to describe the airfoil's behaviour when moving through a fluid are:
In February 1976, work commenced to automate the methods contained in the USAF Stability and Control DATCOM, specifically those contained in sections 4, 5, 6 and 7.The work was performed by the McDonnell Douglas Corporation under contract with the United States Air Force in conjunction with engineers at the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory in Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
