John, I see the Welkin had a NACA 23021 at the root and 23015 at the tip. History does say it had a very small usable speed range at altitude. 21% is certainly thick, although the 749 and 1049 Constellations used a 23018, though they were not expected to operate any where near the Welkins altitude.
