Airfoil Data
GEMINISM
GEMINI (smoothed)
Wing Geometry Simulator
The GEMINI (smoothed) is a 9.9% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 4.9% at 34% chord, suited to general-aviation and UAV wing design. At zero angle of attack the cambered geometry generates positive lift, giving an estimated zero-lift angle of -4.9°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.7° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 63 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 GEMINISM typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: GOE 336 (MVA H.44) AIRFOIL, DORNIER A-5 AIRFOIL, GOE 593 AIRFOIL, HQ 3.5/13 AIRFOIL, MB253515 15.0% smoothed. The GOE 379 AIRFOIL is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
