Airfoil sections are shaped to give maximum lift and minimum drag, other conditions being met; data used for design taken from aeronautical research; specialized marine data required; tests available comparing directly circular and airfoil backed blades; results for five airfoil shapes all of .12 camber ratio given as lift and drag curves; characteristic pressure plots for four of these.
