Airfoil Data...NACA 63A416

Hi all,

Could anyone suggest a good source of data from wind tunnel tests on the NACA 63A416 airfoil, used on the Rallye 880B. Would be very useful for a current university project.

Thanks,
P1lot

...yea had been trying that site, but the links don't seem to be working for me. Google gives many options but not quite what I'm after. I'l be up bright and early tomorrow in the library...I will find it!!

Cheers

Now there was me thinking you'd have tried your university library first!

I used to have a share in one of those. Lots of lift, but lots and lots of drag. The thing had engine options of anywhere from 80hp to 285 hp and they all seemed to cruise at 95 knots!

Don't suppose that's much help?
