UIUC Low Speed Airfoil Tests
Information on the UIUC Low Speed Airfoil Tests (UIUC LSATs) for model aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, small wind turbines, and more. Summary of Low-Speed Airfoil Data - Volumes 1,2, and 3 are available. Volume 4 [pdf] was published as an NREL report that includes many wind turbine airfoils at low Reynolds numbers. UIUC LSATs airfoil data from Volumes 1-4 are on the web. For airfoil design on the web, go to PROFOIL-WWW.
UIUC Airfoil Data Site
The UIUC Airfoil Data Site includes airfoil coordinates (for over 1550 airfoils) and some performance data. The performance data is mostly for low Reynolds number applications. Also useful is The Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage compiled and maintained by Dave Lednicer. The guide includes a listing of what airfoils have been used on approximately 6400 aircraft.
