GOMEZ, A  and  PINILLA, Álvaro. Aerodynamic Characteristics of Airfoils with Blunt Trailing Edge. rev.ing. [online]. 2006, n.24, pp.23-33. ISSN 0121-4993.

This paper is a computational study of the behaviour of aerodynamic characteristics of NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, today known as NASA) profiles with tailored trailing edges. 39 different profiles 4-digit NACA family were studied during the research. A computational research was made, using simple theoretical models to explain and to understand the results. The results describe the changes in lift and drag characteristics and changes in stall angle of attack.

Keywords : Aerodynamics; Blunt Trailing Edge; Aerodynamic Profiles.
