S4320
S4320
Wing Geometry Simulator
The S4320 is a 9.0% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 4.5% at 36% 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 -4.5°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.7° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 61 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 S4320 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: MRC16-85, GOE 547 AIRFOIL, AS5046 (16%) | Ref: http://www.krnet.org/as504x/ [original link: http://amber.aae.uiuc.edu/~ashok/kr2/airfoils/tests/], SD7034, EPPLER 327 AIRFOIL. The I.S.A. 571 is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
