An investigation was conducted in the Langley 6- by 28-inch transonic tunnel and the 6- by 19-inch transonic tunnel to determine the two-dimensional aerodynamic characteristics of several rotorcraft airfoils at Mach numbers from 0.35 to 0.90. The airfoils differed in thickness, thickness distribution, and camber. The FX69-H-098, the BHC-540, and the NACA 0012 airfoils were investigated in the 6- by 28-inch tunnel at Reynolds numbers (based on chord) from about 4.7 to 9.3 million at the lowest and highest test Mach numbers respectively. The FX69-H-098, the NLR-1, the BHC-540, and the NACA 23012 airfoils were investigated in the 6- by 19-inch tunnel at Reynolds numbers from about 0.9 to 2.2 million at the lowest and highest test Mach numbers respectively.
