incidence angle

Sep 28, 2004 2 Replies

I want to learn some details about the theory of the incidence angle for aircrafts or model r/c. if you know an internet adress please let me know.



I am drawing an s6b supermarine.If anyone know about the specific type of the airfoil and the incidence will be very helpfull.



thanks!


flat is high lift and usually uses +2. Symetrical is equal lift top and bottom and usually is set at 0. Engine offset is also a consideration on your flying surface alignment.. Try a semi-symetrical thick airfoil with a +1 or +2 incidence and 0 on the motor and hor stab. If all else fails .. look up the plans for some proven fliers and copy them...
