General comments related to the 0012 blade by others and myself:
SynchroLite ~ Rotor - Blade - 0012 - Aluminum
Symmetrical.
There are NACA documents on this blade in my NACA file folder.
Lift and profile-drag characteristics of an NACA 0012 airfoil section as derived from measured helicopter-rotor hovering performance. ~
http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/reports/1958/naca-tn-4357/ Have hard copy.
The maximum coefficient of lift (
clMax) is approximately 1.5 at 16º angle of attack. [Source ~ TWS p.462]
