A Natural Laminar Flow Airfoil for Very Light Jets

摘要

PURPOSE: A natural laminar airfoil for a small jet is provided to enable passengers to cost-efficiently use a plane by reducing fuel consumption. CONSTITUTION: A natural laminar airfoil(200) for a small jet comprises a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is curved. The bottom surface is formed in the bottom of the airfoil. A maximum thickness ratio of the airfoil is 14~16%. The airfoil reduces drag by delaying the succession of air current from laminar flow to turbulence flow.
