What is the shape of the airfoil at the leading edge?(a) Semi-circular(b) Curve(c) Straight(d) CircularThis question was addressed to me during an internship interview.The origin of the question is Airfoil Nomenclature in section Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics |
Answer» CORRECT option is (d) Circular Easy explanation: The shape of the airfoil at the leading edge is usually circular with a leading edge radius of approximately 0.02c. The shape of all standard NACA AIRFOILS are generated by specifying the shape of the mean chamber line and then wrapping SPECIFIED SYMMETRIC thickness distribution around the mean camber line. |
