The many discussions about various airfoils and the Ashok ones, plus the
recent discussion about the cusp, cause me to recommend highly to all list
members, a book by Harry Riblett entitled GA AIRFOILS, A Catalog
of Airfoils For General Aviation Use. It is available as part number
13-18725 from Aircraft Spruce & Specialty at ph 877-4-SPRUCE.
It includes a comprehensive, easy-to-understand discussion of things
airfoil. It is good to read first before other texts, so you have an
appropriate amount of jaundice before reading them. The cusp is
discussed. Mistakes made by NACA on their 6-series laminar flow
airfoils are discussed. I believe KR builders would find it very
interesting.
