Zusammenfassung:An airfoil for use with high speed mobile platforms. The airfoil features include low peak local mach numbers over the surface avoiding shock, uniform pressure distribution across the entire flight regime, aggressive closure angles for good RF performance, and a scaleable fillet to reduce the stagnation flow region at a leading edge of the airfoil. The airfoil has a scaleable contour for variation in length, height, and length-to-height ratio while maintaining excellent aerodynamic characteristics.
