While I don't have the coordinates for the Riblett GA airfoil that Rob and othersmention, there was an analysis done by Mike Shuck comparing that airfoil withthe NACA 4415 and they are remarkably similar in turbulent flow regimes aswell as profiles. The NACA 4415 coordinates are readily obtainable.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2008 12:55:29 -0400

Owen,I posted a spreadsheet on this list a couple of months ago giving theco-ordinates of the Riblett GA and Peitenpol sections.If you can't find it, I can send it to you.JohnW---- Original Message ----

I'm guessing the site is in a state of flux. The link that you referenced givesme a UofI Champaign-Urbana Aerospace engineer web page with the message thatthe page I was looking for was not found (404).Everything I try ends with out a positive result.Bob Santa Fe, NMRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
