GIII BL75 AIRFOIL
Wing Geometry Simulator
The GIII BL75 AIRFOIL is a thin 5.9% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 2.9% at 35% 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 -2.9°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.9° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 52 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 GIIIC typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: S8066 (10% version of S8065 w/ lower surface aerodynamically similar), N-13, AG52, EPPLER 904 AIRFOIL, YS-915. The EH 2.0/7.0 is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
