INTRODUCTION

In the course of the measurements of the aerody-namic characteristics of the 24 airfoil sections desoribedin Tecbmical Report No. 319 (Reference 1) of the Na-tional Advisory Committee for Aeronautic, the authomfound that it was advantageous to move the maximumordjnate of the section further back from the leadingedge as the speed was increased. A segment of acircular cylinder with the m&mum ordinate at 50per cent of the chord was found ta be more fioientat high speeds than airfoil sections of the R. A. F.or Clark Y families of the same thickness. It wasdeemed desirable to determine whether this increasedefficiency at high speed is characteristic of circular-arc sections of all the thickness ratios from 0.08 to 0.20times the chord and to determine the effect of roundingthe sharp edges, which would be nezcxx+aryin practice.These werethe object. of thework now ta be described.The measurements were carried out at the NationalBureau of Standards with the cooperation and fhanoiaIassistance of the hTationaI Advisory Committee forAeronautics.

Air stream, bahmce, nozzles,-The equipment usedis described in detail in Technical Report No. 319.The airfoils were mounted so as to span the cylindricalair stream, which was 2 inches in diameter. Measure-ments were made at speeds of 0.5c, 0.65c, 0.8c, 0.95c,and 1.08c, where c denotes the speed of sound at thetemperature of the jet. At 20° C., c is 1,126 feet persecond, and the corresponding airspeedswere 563,732,902, 1,071, and 1,218 feet per second.

COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS

The quantities V/c, CL, and CDwero computed bymeans of these equations from the observod lift anddrag, the pressure inside the approach pipe, and thebarometric pressure.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The results are given in the form of polar diagramsin Figures 2 to 9, incl@ve. Numerical valuea of thelift and drag coefficients for various angles of attackare given in Table L

A comparison of Figures 2, 3, and 4 and of Figures5,6, and 7 shows that the effect of rounding the leadingand trailing edges is small. The degree of roundingindicdied by a produces very little effect, tho differ-ence at positive lifts being within the experimentalerror, except perhaps for a slight increase in the dragcoticient at high lift coefficients. The greaterrounding of the b sections gives a further small in-crease in drag coeiXcient at high lift coefficients, but aperceptible decrease in the minimum drag coef3cient. ●

As a whole the rounding of the edges does not greatlymodify the efficiency.

& with other sections, the effect of thickness is verygreat. The thicker sections are much less efficient at --all speeds and the increase in drag coefficient withincreasing speed is greater for the thick sections thanfor the thin.

Figures 10 to 29, inclusive, ?how the c~~acteristicsof @cular-arc sections in comparison with airfoiIs -of the R. A. F. and Clark Y families, the data for thelatter being taken from N. A. C, A, Technical Report -No. 319. Each &me contains the curves for a singlespeed and a single thickness ratio. Figure 10, forexample, givw the curves for a thickness of 0.0S timesthe chord at a speed of 0.5 times the speed of sound.The circular-arc section is seen to compare favorablywith the corresponding R. A. F. section except athigh lift COS&iSllt9. It is not quite as e5cient as thecorresponding Clark Y section. Figures 11, 12, 13, and14 give the curves for the same sections at speeds of0.65c,.O.8C,0.95c, and 1.08c. At a speed of 0.8c (l?@&12), &e circular-arc section is appreciably better overa large part of the. working range than either of theother two. At a speed of 0.95c (Figure 13), it is de-cideQly better, and at a speed of 1.08c (Figure 14),the ~ag of the circuhi.r-arc section over a large partof the working range does not exceed 70 per cent ofthe drag of the Clark Y.

-.

Comparisons for other thickness ratios may be made _in like manner. Passing to Figures 25,26,27,28, and29 for a thickness of 0.20 times the chord, we find at .low speeds (Figures 25 and 26) that the circular-arcsection is extremely inefficient as compared with thecorresponding R. A. F. and Clark Y sections, At aspeed of 0.65c (Tigure 26), the circular-arc sectionbegins to show an advantage at large lift coefficient.This .& more pronounced at 0.8c (F@re 27), and atspeeds of 0.95c and 1,08c (Figures 28 and 29) the cir- -

cukr-arc section is the beat over most of the workingrange. At a speed of 1.08c, the drag of the circulax-arc section within the working rmge does not exceed80 per cent of the drag of the Clark Y section.

These results indicate that it would be beneficial touse circular-arc aectioDs for the outer part of a pro-peIIerblade intended for use.athigh tip speeds, retainingsections of the conventional type nearer the hub wherethe thickness ratio is Iargs and the speed low. Thelength over which the circulax-arc section should beused depends upon the thickness of the blade and itsintended tip speed. The results of these tes@ shouldin any case be supplemented by measurements onactual propellers at high tip speeds, and in such teststhe best length could be determined. It seems notunreasonable to expect that a circular-arc section canbe used profitably over the outer third of the blade.

CONCLUSIONS .-

lt has been found that circukr-arc sections are moreeflicient at high speeds than either R A. F. or Clark Ysections. A moderate rounding of the leading and ~~_- –—trailing edges is not detrimental. It appears desirableto use circubm-arc sections for the outer sections of .. ...
