In order to assess the degree to which the characteristic region of low curvature of the supercritical airfoil can be practically extended on the upper surface, the aerodynamic characteristics of two supercritical airfoils with different upper surface curvature distributions were measured at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 0.81. Integrated section force and moment data, surface pressure distributions, and typical wake survey profiles are presented.
