Four thin airfoils (t/c = 0.05) were investigated experimentally. The aerodynamic efficiency of three supercritical airfoils is compared with that of a conventional one. The investigation was conducted in a transonic wind tunnel within a Mach number range of 0.6 to 0.95 and at Reynolds numbers 4 million to 6 million. Results show the superiority of supercritical airfoil design. This is explained, referring to overall aerodynamic coefficients, limits of efficiency, and in special cases to pressure distributions.
