 |  Airfoil type?
I'm working on a science project and need to know what airfoil a boeing 747 has, particularly around the tip. Thanks, JP

JP .....youch.....Long time ago I googled NACA foils and a really good site had all the profiles for so many planes past and present. Theres not a lot of info on NACA when you google it so you should find it fairly quickly.

| Re: Airfoil type? Dont think you will find they are NACA ones at all, they are Boeing propriety ones. I think they have about half dozen, called the BAC463, BAC464, BAC465, BAC466, BAC467 and BAC468. A good site for airfoil info - http://www.ae.uiuc.edu/m-selig/ads/aircraft.html

| Re: Airfoil type?
the wings on the 747 are made out of "foil"??? that's kinda scary! (i had to! LOL) tell us more about your project. i like to hear about "good" school projects once in a while. our local system doesn't really challenge the kids in the science dept. |

Thanks for all the help guys!
 . Thanks for your interest in my project, basically I am going to build a wing section and a winglet and test different winglet designs and test them in a wind tunnel. In a few days I will post my introduction that explains my project a little bit more.JP

Am interested in your project. What do you prepose to do with this information? If you are going to apply this info to a model, I feel you will be disappointed with the results. Please keep us informed. Cheers
