Airfoil Arc Radius Calculator

Airfoil Arc Radius Calculator

This utility will calculate the radius of a circle to produce the arc required for a given chord and percentage airfoil.

The calculations are based on the following formula:


R = ( (25*C) / (2*P) )+( (C*P) / 200 )

Where:
C = chord in inches
P = percentage of arc required



Chord: (chord in inches)
Percentage: (percent of arc desired)
 
The radius of the circle required to produce an arc of 3%, with a chord of 5:

Radius:      20.91
