AG03
AG03 (flat aft bottom)
Wing Geometry Simulator
The AG03 (flat aft bottom) is a thin 5.1% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 2.6% at 28% chord, suited to high-speed UAVs, sailplane tip sections, and propeller blade design. At zero angle of attack the cambered geometry generates positive lift, giving an estimated zero-lift angle of -2.6°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.9° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 50 at typical UAV and light-aircraft Reynolds numbers — useful benchmarks before running a full XFOIL or NeuralFoil polar. The slim profile minimises pressure drag at higher speeds but leaves limited spar depth for structural integration.
Designers evaluating the AG03 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: Supermarine 371-II (tip), AH21 9% version (Andrew Hollom), JX-GS-10, AG46c -03f, GOE 55 AIRFOIL. The AG11 is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
