Figure 3.1.402 showing values of Cl at different angles of attack.<br />
Figure 3.1.403 showing cl/cd characteristics along with moment coefficients for different angles of attack<br />
From the graphs and tables above, NACA 4415 and Wortman FX 77-153 suited the best<br />
for our purpose. Wortman FX 77-153 showed better lift coefficient characteristics at<br />
higher angles of attack and moment coefficient values. But this was compromised with<br />
higher values of drag. NACA 4415 had better L/D characteristics.<br />
Hence, to achieve the best outcome, NACA 4415 with an angle of incidence of 2 degrees<br />
was selected. <strong>The</strong> angle of incidence gave us higher values of lift coefficients at small<br />
angles of attack. Compromises on stall characteristics had to be made in order to<br />
achieve this.
