A Short History of Airfoils
Key Takeaways:
- The NACA 23012 airfoil, designed in 1935 by Eastman Jacobs at NACA Langley, is recognized as possibly the most widely used airfoil of all time.
- Its widespread use is attributed to its excellent aerodynamic properties, including high lift, low drag, mild pitching moments, and a degree of laminar flow on its lower surface.
