2、 lift as a function of thick-ncss ratio is shown in figure 12 for NACA 64- and 64A-seriesairfoil sections of various cambers. These results show thatthe angle of zero lift is nearly independent of thickness andis primarily dependent upon the amount of camber for aparticular type of mean line. Theore

3、tical calculations madeby use of the mean-line data of figme 3 and reference 1indicate that airfoils with the a=0.8 (modified) mean lineshould have angles of zero lift less negative than those withthe a= 1.0 mean line. Actually, the reverse appears to bethe case, and this effect is due mainly to the

4、 fact that air-foils having the a= 1.0 type of mean line have angles of zerolift which are only about 74 percent of their theoretical value(reference 1), and those having the a-0.8 (modified) meanlines have angles of zero lift larger than indicated by theoryThe measured lift-curve slopes correspondi

5、ng to the NACA64-series and NACA 64A-series airfoils of various cambersare presented in figure 13 as a function of airfoil thicknessratio. No consistent variation of lift-curve slope withcamber or Reynolds number is shown by either type of air-foil. The increase in traihng-edge angle which accompani

6、esremoval of the cusp would be expected to reduce the lift-curve slope by an amount which increases with airfoil thick-ness ratio (references 3 and 4). Because the present datafor the NACA 6A-series sections show essentially no varia-tion in lift-curve slope with thickness ratio, it appears thatthe

The experimental relationship betwee:the quarter-chord pitching-moment coefficient and airfoithickness ratio and camber, shown in figure 15, discloses thathe plain NACA 64A-series airfoils have pitching-momencoefficients which a

32、trailing-edge angle for agiven airfoil thickness ratio. The results obtained for tileNACA 24-, 44-, and 230-series airfoil sections (reference 1)reveal that the effect of increasing trailing-edge angle pre-dominates over the effect of increasing thickness because theposition of the aerodynamic cente

For theNACA 64A-series airfoils (fig. 17) the aerodynamic center isslightly behind the quarter-chord point and does not appearto vary with increasing thickness. These results suggestthat the effect of increasing thickness is

35、mbers of3X106, 6X106, and 9X106 may be drawn:1. The section minimum drag and maximum lift coef-ficients of corresponding NACA 6-series and 6A-series airfoilsections are essentially the same.2. The lift-curve slopes of smooth NACA 6A-series airfoilsections appear to be essentially independent of airf

36、oilthickness ratio, in contrast to the trends shown by NACA6-series airfoil sections. The addition of standard leading-edge roughness causes the lift-curve slope to decrease withincreasing airfoil thickness ratio for NACA 6A-series airfoilsections.3.
