Consider a NACA 2812 airfoil. It is operating with flow velocity of 900m/s with chord of 1m. What should be the maximum thickness of this airfoil?(a) 0.12m(b) 0.21m(c) 0.9m(d) 28.12mI had been asked this question in an interview for job.Query is from Airfoil Selection-1 in chapter Airfoil and Geometry Selection of Aircraft Design

Answer»

Right choice is (a) 0.12m

For explanation: NACA-4 digit series is used to define certain airfoil characteristics.

Here, VELOCITY = 900 m/s, chord = 1m

From NACA-4 digit,

Maximum thickness = last two digits in percent of chord=12% of chord = 0.12*1 = 0.12m.
