GOE 164 (MVA MK.10) AIRFOIL
Wing Geometry Simulator
The GOE 164 (MVA MK.10) AIRFOIL is a 10.2% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 5.1% at 30% 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 -5.1°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.7° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 64 at typical UAV and light-aircraft Reynolds numbers — useful benchmarks before running a full XFOIL or NeuralFoil polar. The 10% thickness provides structural depth for main-spar placement without excessive drag penalty at moderate speeds.
Designers evaluating the GOE164 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: NACA M20 AIRFOIL, FX 63-143 AIRFOIL, FX 75-141, NACA M18 AIRFOIL, AH 80-136. The GOE 572 AIRFOIL is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
