Constructor Detail

NACA67Series

public NACA67Series(double CLi,
                    double thickness,
                    double length)

Create a NACA 67 series airfoil with the specified parameters.

Parameters:

CLi - Design lift coefficient (e.g.: 67-206 has CLi = 0.2).

thickness - The thickness to chord ratio (e.g.: 0.20 ==> 20% t/c).

length - The chord length.

Method Detail

getProfile

public java.lang.String getProfile()

Returns a String that represents the profile type of this airfoil.

Specified by:

getProfile in class NACA6Series

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Simple method to test this class.
