Hi,

I'm currently designing a 3d model of the Messerschmitt BF109 in Blender.
I have found out, that the ME109 uses the NACA 2414 airfoil at the root of the wing
and the NACA 2411 airfoil at the wingtip.

However, when I compare the relative thickness of the wing I modeled to the relative thickness of the wing in the first attached picture(front view)
it appears to be too big.

So I'd like to know how the airfoil scales down from NACA2414 to NACA2411 if the scaling down isn't uniform. (In my experience the NACA2411 is too fat)


Thanks for help!
