Hi everyone,

I have simulated 2 wing profiles with the following results for the same AoA:

Profile A:
Cl=0.604886007462687
Cd=0.175358242288557
Cl/Cd=3.44943014692933
Thicker profile, with more surface

Profile B:
Cl=0.551782801492538
Cd=0.171784096517413
Cl/Cd=3.21207150533056
Thinner profile, less surface

While testing in flight, the profile B is 15km/h slower than the profile A for the same glide. Is it something I could have anticipated from the upper results?

Thanks!
