NACA 64A-010 10.0%
Wing Geometry Simulator
The NACA 64A-010 10.0% is a thin 5.0% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 2.5% at 40% 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 -2.5°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 12.0° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 49 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.
The NACA64A010 appears in the wing design of at least 13 documented aircraft, including designs from Grumman and Panstwowe. Its proven track record across conventional and rotorcraft designs makes it one of the more field-validated profiles in the UIUC database.
Designers evaluating the NACA64A010 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: NACA 63A010 AIRFOIL, LWK 79-100, RAE 101 AIRFOIL, RAE 100 AIRFOIL, RAE 103 AIRFOIL. The NACA 64-210 is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
