For a NACA 4415 airfoil, the location of maximum camber, as a fraction of the chord length from the leading edge, is _________.
For a NACA 4415 airfoil, the location of maximum camber, as a fraction of the chord length from the leading edge, is _________.
Show Hint
- 0.44
- 0.40
- 0.15
- 0.04
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
- The first digit (4) indicates the maximum camber as a percentage of the chord length: 4%.
- The second digit (4) indicates the location of the maximum camber from the leading edge as a fraction of the chord: 0.40 or 40%.
- The last two digits (15) indicate the maximum thickness of the airfoil as a percentage of the chord length: 15%.
Therefore, the location of the maximum camber should be 0.40 of the chord length from the leading edge.
