[NSRCA-discussion] Thick Trailing Edges

[Nat Penton]

Peter 
I'm mad at myself for not filing the article in KitPlanes so I ordered another copy of the Dec issue. It may be two weeks showing up. I remember Jim Bede, of BD 5 fame, also extolling the virtues of a thick TE.

The magic number was somewhere around 1.5% with sharp corners.                 Nat

  Hi Guys,

   

  Thanks for the input.

   

  Now for the million dollar question. What sort of trailing edge thickness are we talking about in order to feel a difference?

  The Windtunnel article by Barnaby Wainfain, Dec 06 Kitplanes, discussed controll effects / drag of thick trailing edges. Unfortunately I gave my issue away. I do recall it was all positives for the thicker TEs.           Nat
