AUGUST160
AUGUST 160
Wing Geometry Simulator
The AUGUST 160 is a 13.4% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 6.7% at 25% chord, suited to high-lift UAV wings, RC sailplanes, and low-Reynolds-number slow-flyers. At zero angle of attack the cambered geometry generates positive lift, giving an estimated zero-lift angle of -6.7°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.1° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 71 at typical UAV and light-aircraft Reynolds numbers — useful benchmarks before running a full XFOIL or NeuralFoil polar. The 13% thickness provides structural depth for main-spar placement without excessive drag penalty at moderate speeds.
Designers evaluating the AUGUST160 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: FX 73-CL1-152, EPPLER 654 AIRFOIL, FX S 02-196 AIRFOIL, GOE 628 AIRFOIL, AH 95-160. The EPPLER 556 AIRFOIL is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
