Wind Turbine Airfoil Catalogue

Performance data on the three sub-families of NACA airfoils are collected here: NACA 63, NACA 64 and NACA 65. They differ from each other by the chordwise position of minimum pressure. Then, a third digit indicates the design lift coefficient. The airfoils can finally be distinguished by their thickness, which is given by the last 2 digits.

For each airfoil the relations of the lift coefficient and drag coefficient to the attack angle are constructed and can be reused over SplineCloud API.

 Among the numerous possibilities in the different families, only the following airfoils are considered:

• NACA 63-215
• NACA 63-218
• NACA 63-221
• NACA 63-415
• NACA 63-418
• NACA 63-421
• NACA 64-415
• NACA 64-421
• NACA 65-415
• NACA 65-421
