![]() ![]() Wings are difficult to design and there’s a lot of physics and theory in this specific topic. It took 3 or 4 complete wing design iterations to finally settle on one which you can see in my current design.īe patient as you work through your design. To come close to this design, while also having a flight characteristic I’d prefer in my model, I pulled several airfoils and worked on blending them. Since I was unable to find actual technical information about the wing design and the specific airfoils they used to develop the L-1011, I had to approximate which AFs to use. The full scale plane used a supercritical airfoil at the root and twisted to produce washout at the wing tips. ![]() ![]() The airfoil at the wing’s MAC (Mean Aerodynamic Chord) is a transitional airfoil that blended well between the two different AFs Two of which are the NASA CS(1)-0614 Supercritical and Curtis C-72 High Lift Airfoil. As I’ve noted, for my RC Airliner, the L-1011, I’ve chosen three airfoils.
