Chapter 4 Incompressible Flow Over Airfoils Of the many problems now engaging attention, the following are considered of immediate importance and will be considered by the committee as rapidly as funds can be secured for the purpose. . The evolution of the more efficient wing sections of practical form, embodying suitable dimension for an economical structure, with moderate travel of the center-of-pressure and still affording a large range of angle-of- attack combined with efficient action From the first annual report of the NACA 1915

4.1 Introduction Ludiwig Prandtl and his colleagues at Göttingen, Germany, showed that the aerodynamic consideration of wings could be split into two parts. (1) the study of the section of a wing—an airfoil. And (2) the modification of such airfoil properties to account for the complete, finite wing
