The Corsair82: 82% F4U-1A Corsair

GA Airfoils

To start the wing building process, I first had to select an airfoil. I used Harry Riblett's book "GA Airfoils" as my primary reference. I chose one of his "cleaned up" NACA laminar flow airfoils. I chose the 37A215 airfoil. It is basically NACA 64 series airfoil with its thickest point at 37% aft and 14.5% thick. I am keeping it 14.5% thick for the entire wing span. Thanks Mr. Riblett. (The book can be purchased from the EAA bookstore, see my Links)
