Highest LD ratio designs

dijinj · January 17, 2011, 10:43

can someone give the technical name or coordinate files of airfoils having highest LD ratio; above 50

also tell me how to generate a sears hack body's coordinate file

There are a lot of airfoils with a L/D ratio over 50 - as long as you are just looking on the airfoil itself. Even an old one like the E603 will reach a L/D of more than 100, and to be honest, that's an out-of-date airfoil and can't compete with a modern one.
On a real plain, it depends on the aspect ratio of the wing, the shape of the fusselage, the wing tip...

I am looking for wing profile only not complete aircraft. I only need 2d cross section of airfoils

click on "Search" and look for high L/D airfoils.
