Best RC Plane Airfoil: FX 74-Cl5-140

The document recommends the FX 74-Cl5-140 MOD (smoothed) airfoil for an RC plane flying at high or low Reynolds numbers, noting its maximum thickness of 13.1% at 27.1% chord and maximum camber of 9.7% at 41.6% chord. While NACA airfoils could also be suitable for very light aircraft, the FX 74 airfoil is deemed best for typical RC plane designs that include payload, engine, and tires towards the back of the aircraft.

Best Airfoil Design for ur RC plane flying at high or low reynolds number would be:

FX 74-Cl5-140 MOD (smoothed) - Modified Wortmann FX 74-CL5-140 high lift


airfoil
(fx74modsm-il) FX 74-Cl5-140 MOD
(smoothed)
Modified Wortmann FX 74-CL5-140 high lift
airfoil
Max thickness 13.1% at 27.1% chord.
Max camber 9.7% at 41.6% chord
Ive run analysis on NACA 4412 AND OTHERS but for your rc design the best one would be the aforesaid
above. NACA Airfoils are gonna be for even lighter aircrafts with minimum pay load aft engine, tires and
so forth.
Wign Design Parameters
Wing Design for Empty Weight Load 50Kg
Wing Design when fully loaded 100Kg
