[edit] NACA 00xx foil formula
I believe that the "y" in the shape formula is the half-thickness (to surface from the centerline) rather than the thickness, as stated. Maybe someone more familiar with this can check; I am hesitant to change anything, but my other research finds the formula written "±y = ... etc..." GinSTexas 00:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- You're right, you reflect the formula across the centerline (which in the 00xx series is the axis) to get the full shape. scot 14:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
