6-Series Camber Line
Public Domain Aeronautical Software (PDAS)
The equations for the 6-series camber lines are rather complicated and
there is little value in displaying them here.
They may be found
on p.8 of
NASA TM 4741
as Eq. 4.26 and 4.27
on p.74 of Abbott and von Doenhoff, Theory of Wing Sections
as Eq. 6 on p.264 of
NACA Report 824
6-series camber lines are specified with a parameter a ,
where a is a fraction of chord.
The intent is to provide a uniform loading from the leading edge to
the station x=a and a loading that decreases linearly to zero thereafter.
