Description
Summary:Comparisons of theoretical and experimental lift coefficients and pressure distributions were made for five compressor-type cascades of highly cambered NACA 6-series airfoils. The experimental lift coefficients were 0.2 and 0.4 less than the theoretical for the same mean-flow direction. When the theoretical lift was made equal to the experimental lift by simply adjusting the circulation to the desired value, the Kutta condition being neglected, close agreements were obtained between the pressure distributions. The data (low-speed) were obtained by the newer technique of NACA TN 2028, and the comparisons are substantially better than those previously reported in NACA TN 1376.
