TSAGI HERITAGE, NACA23012, M=0.5, alpha = -1.2 grad

Posted May 15, 2014 at 03:09 by skeptik

I have some useful papers totally on Russian.

I will post some experimental results about airfoils here as i will translate it to appliciable form.

Here are the results which could be easily plotted by GNUplot. They are from far away 1946, TSAGI (Central Aero-, Gas-Dynamics Institute) publisher.

Code:
