OTHER: Aerodynamics - Blade Profile - NACA 230xx (general)

At Tip:

Use NACA 0006 and maybe the next inboard one should be NACA 0009

Airfoil Shape Definition:

For the algorithm that defines this series of airfoils plus the NACA 00xx series see: [PHA Section 7.4]

NACA:

An experimental investigation of the effect of various parameters including tip Mach number on the flutter of some model helicopter rotor blades, NACA TN 4005 Sept 1958
