Hi everybody
I am seraching for a simmetrical airfoil that has the particularity, that it is very thick (20%) and operates at high RE (7.000.000).
May somebody could give me a hint on the design characteristics that makes an airfoil suitable for large thickness or high RE environment?
As a starting point i was handling 63A015 and 64A015 (or Ribbletts sizlings) and resizing it to 20%.
But i would like to understand what parameter an airfoil designer would emphasize from the beginning if he knew it would be thick and operated at high RE.
