MH120
MH 120 8.0%
Wing Geometry Simulator
The MH 120 8.0% is a thin 6.1% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 3.1% at 47% 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 -3.1°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.9° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 53 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 MH120 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: NASA/AMES A-03 AIRFOIL, DS19 Joe Wurts, (Dicke 12.28%), NACA M5 AIRFOIL, BOEING 707 .19 SPAN AIRFOIL. The AH 79-100 A AIRFOIL is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
