E422
EPPLER 422 AIRFOIL
Wing Geometry Simulator
The EPPLER 422 AIRFOIL is a 13.9% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 6.9% at 31% 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 -6.9°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 10.9° 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 14% thickness provides structural depth for main-spar placement without excessive drag penalty at moderate speeds.
Designers evaluating the E422 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: GOE 255 (MVA CA.6) AIRFOIL, NACA 2424, LIEBECK LA5055 AIRFOIL, FX 76-MP-160, S1223 RTL. The MH 91 14.98% is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
