GOE 365 AIRFOIL
Wing Geometry Simulator
The GOE 365 AIRFOIL is a 11.0% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 5.5% 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 -5.5°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.7° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 66 at typical UAV and light-aircraft Reynolds numbers — useful benchmarks before running a full XFOIL or NeuralFoil polar. The 11% thickness provides structural depth for main-spar placement without excessive drag penalty at moderate speeds.
The GOE365 appears in the wing design of at least 1 documented aircraft — notably by Larson. Its proven track record across rotorcraft designs makes it one of the more field-validated profiles in the UIUC database.
Designers evaluating the GOE365 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: GOE 801 (MVA 301) AIRFOIL, GOE 802 A AIRFOIL, GOE 802 B AIRFOIL, GOE 802 AIRFOIL, EPPLER 339 AIRFOIL. The GOE 228 (MVA H.38) AIRFOIL is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
