Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A family of airfoil cross sections termed, SC21xx, for use in a helicopter blade is disclosed. The airfoil (36) achieves maximum lift performance equivalent to prior art airfoil configurations without incurring increased aerodynamic drag at high velocities. The airfoil (36) was developed by thickening and drooping the leading edge region (38) of the prior art airfoil (30) improving lift in the leading edge region (38) and delaying the formation of sonic shock waves at high velocities.
