How do I read my NACA airfoil number?
The airfoil is described by seven digits in the following sequence:
- The number “7” indicating the series.
- One digit describing the distance of the minimum pressure area on the upper surface in tenths of the chord.
- One digit describing the distance of the minimum pressure area on the lower surface in tenths of the chord.
Which one is NACA 16 series airfoil *?
The NACA 16-Series airfoils are automatically generated according to the ideal lift coefficient and the thickness to chord ratio from the functions that define the shape. This series is a subset of the NACA 1-Series airfoils with the location of minimum pressure 60% along the chord.
Which airfoil produces the most lift?
Airfoil Three generated the most lift due to the oval arc shape. Lift is caused by the faster movement of air on the top side of an airfoil.
How do I find my NACA number?
NACA 4 digit airfoil specification
- M is the maximum camber divided by 100. In the example M=2 so the camber is 0.02 or 2% of the chord.
- P is the position of the maximum camber divided by 10. In the example P=4 so the maximum camber is at 0.4 or 40% of the chord.
- XX is the thickness divided by 100.
What kind of plane is the Gulfstream G100?
The Gulfstream G100, formerly known as the IAI Astra SPX, is an Israel Aerospace Industries-manufactured twin-engine business jet, that was produced for Gulfstream Aerospace. Deliveries began in 1986. The United States Air Force employs the craft as the C-38 Courier. A later derivative known as the G150 was launched in 2002.
How does the Gulfstream G450 cabin air work?
During every flight in the Gulfstream G450, fresh air is constantly supplied throughout the entire cabin of the aircraft. While many commercial planes rely on fans to recirculate cabin air, every aircraft in the Flexjet fleet utilizes compressed air endlessly gathered from the sky throughout each flight.
Which is the quietest cabin in the Gulfstream G500?
Designed to be the quietest in business aviation, the G500 cabin provides a peaceful environment. Arrive alert and refreshed thanks to 100 percent fresh air and the lowest cabin altitude in the industry. Fourteen windows—the largest in business aviation—offer abundant natural light and sweeping views of the world.
What kind of seats does Gulfstream G500 have?
You can stroll down a generous aisle or recline in all-new seats. Tables seat three across for meals or meetings. Designed to be the quietest in business aviation, the G500 cabin provides a peaceful environment.
