Abstract

A estimation model was built to predict the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils through ±180° angle of attack. The lift coefficients, drag coefficients, moment coefficients of full range section were estimated for NACA0012 airfoil, NACA0015 airfoil and DU96-W-180 airfoil. Comparisons between the model predictions and experiment data showed that the estimation model is reasonable.
