Airfoil thickness

Coefficients of amplification or reduction of the thickness of the cells. Normally defined as “1.0”, or “0.0” in the wingtip.

Type

Airfoil thickness is an optional section.

If you do not want to define/ use these parameters set the Type to None.

Rib num

Rib num for which the coefficient is defined.

The lines are configured automatically and based on Number of Ribs in the Basic data* window.

Coef

Coefficient describing the thickness modification

0.0: thickness equals 0 (typical for wingtip)

1.0: thickness equally to definition in profile file

>1: increased thickness compared to the definition in the profile file
