The development of an airfoil family for the rotor of the European Tilt Rotor Project EUROFAR (European Future Advanced Rotorcraft) is reported. The design is based on requirements which included desired operation conditions and airfoil characteristics. Airfoils were designed for the inner radial stations of the rotor blade. Suitable existing airfoils are available for the outer stations. All the airfoils will be or were measured in a transonic wind tunnel. The root airfoils, having large relative thickness, were measured in low speed wind tunnels to examine high lift characteristics. In many cases the experimental results are in a good agreement with the calculated data, thus proving high quality of the calculation procedure and manufacturing technology for aerofoil models. The airfoil family presented meets nearly all requirements.
