Optimizing Wing Geometry for Maximum Lift-to-Drag Ratio
Yeah, I guess that is the only solution. Then I won't be able to reach the best L/D-ratio at cruising, by using NACA 64 012 for example- scanflyer

Optimizing Wing Geometry for Maximum Lift-to-Drag Ratio
Thank you for your answer. That may be an option, the only problem is that this is a low speed wing, and I am afraid that the thin aerofoil will cause some poor low speed characteristics. So this might be an impossible task if I don't change the geometry.- scanflyer

Optimizing Wing Geometry for Maximum Lift-to-Drag Ratio
Hi, I am trying to find a NACA-aerofoil for a given wing geometry (AR = 8, Taper: 0.35, Cruise CL = 0.05 at 0.6 degrees angle). Do any of you know if it is possible to find an aerofoil that will give this wing the best L/D-ratio at this cruise AoA (0.6 deg)? I have done some analysis on...- scanflyer
