For example, a NACA 2412 airfoil uses a 2% camber (first digit) 40% (second digit) along the chord of a 0012 symmetrical airfoil having a thickness 12% (digits 3 and 4) of the chord.
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.
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; Propeller blade: drawn over own photo of a sliced WW2-era bomber propeller
Laminar flow airfoil for a RC park flyer, laminar flow airfoil for a RC pylon racer, laminar flow airfoil for a manned propeller aircraft, laminar flow at a jet airliner airfoil, stable airfoil used for flying wings, aft loaded airfoil allowing for a large main spar and late stall, transonic supercritical airfoil, supersonic leading edge ...
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:
