Airfoil Data
E63

The E63 (4.25%) is a thin 7.1% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 3.5% at 46% 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 -3.5°.

Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.8° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 55 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 E63 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: NACA 66(1)-212, GOE 393 AIRFOIL, FX LIII-142 K 25 AIRFOIL, NACA 64(1)-212 MOD B, MH 108 11.98%. The BOEING-VERTOL VR-11X AIRFOIL is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
