AI Thread Summary
The NACA 64A416/4416 mod airfoil data is not readily available despite its listing by various manufacturers, which has led to confusion among users. The airfoil is associated with the DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver, and while some online resources can generate airfoil coordinates, they may not always provide images or comprehensive data. Users have found success using specific websites like aeromech to obtain representations and data for these airfoils. There is also interest in coding this data for software like AutoCAD and Rhino to facilitate drawing the airfoil. Overall, while the data is scarce, there are methods to generate it and resources available for further assistance.

Hello,

I am looking for coordinates data for the airfoil NACA 64A416/4416 mod. This airfoil was used on the DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver. While the airfoil is listed on various manufactures lists no data, or image, of the airfoil is available. Can you tell me whether there is a reason this data is not given, or am I misunderstanding something. And, is there an alternative airfoil which can be used and where the data and an image is available. The information is required for a large scale model of the DHC_2 Beaver up to 140 inch wing span.

Regards,
Spud

Hi Baluncore,

I visited aeromech and found that by entering either 4416 (4 Series) or 64a416 (6 series) I finally get an image representation of an airfoil, plus its data. The other databases on the web don't produce either for the designations above. I don't know why but its a pity that they dont. All I need now is a method of coding the data for AutoCAD and Rhino so that the airfoil is automatically drawn. Many thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated.

Regards,
Spud

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
