description abstractAn investigation was carried out in the Langley stability tunnel to determine the lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics of a family of annular airfoils. The five annular airfoils had equal projected areas but had varying chords and diameters which covered aspect ratios of 1/3, 2/3, 1.0, 1.5, and 3.0.
The results showed that the effects of aspect ratio on the aerodynamic-center location were similar for annular and unswept airfoils and that annular airfoils had larger maximum lift-drag ratios below an aspect ratio of 2.4 than did plane rectangular airfoils with faired tips. The lift-curve slope was twice the lift curve slope for a plane unswept airfoil of the same aspect ratio, and the induced drag coefficient was one-half the induced drag coefficient of an elliptic airfoil. The characteristics of the flow in the wake of the annular airfoils having lower aspect ratios (1/3, 2/3, and 1.0) were similar to the wake characteristics of low-aspect-ratio or highly swept airfoils.
