Summary:

This paper is the first of a series covering an investigation of a family of airfoils all formed from a basic profile. It gives in preliminary form the results obtained fom tests in the N.A.C.A. variable density wind tunnel of six symmetrical airfoils, differing only in maximum thickness. The maximum thickness-to-chord ratios are 0.06, 0.09, 0.12, 0.15, 0.18, and 0.21. The results are analyzed with a view to indicating the variation of the aerodynamic characteristics with profile thickness.
