Methods by which aerodynamic characteristics of air foil may be calculated with sufficient accuracy for use in airplane design are described and developed; these methods for prediction are based on present aerodynamic theory and on empirical formulas derived from data obtained in N.A.C.A. variable-density wind tunnel at Reynolds Number corresponding approximately to full scale.
