The aerodynamic characteristics of a circulation control elliptic airfoil section with a 15-percent thickness-to-chord ratio were evaluated subsonically. The airfoil, designated NCCR1513-7559E, incorporates a high degree of nose camber and an increased leading edge radius in a profile designed for high subsonic speeds. Critical Mach numbers in excess of 0.7 were predicted analytically for several typical operating conditions. Lift coefficients up to 4.63 were produced at momentum coefficients of 0.22. Equivalent lift-to-drag ratios of approximately 40 were also produced at C(l)= 0.8. (Author)
