FX2
WORTMANN FX 2 AIRFOIL
Wing Geometry Simulator
The WORTMANN FX 2 AIRFOIL is a 13.0% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 6.5% at 50% chord, suited to high-lift UAV wings, RC sailplanes, and low-Reynolds-number slow-flyers. At zero angle of attack the cambered geometry generates positive lift, giving an estimated zero-lift angle of -6.5°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.2° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 70 at typical UAV and light-aircraft Reynolds numbers — useful benchmarks before running a full XFOIL or NeuralFoil polar. The 13% thickness provides structural depth for main-spar placement without excessive drag penalty at moderate speeds.
Designers evaluating the FX2 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: GOE 675 AIRFOIL, EPPLER 1211 AIRFOIL, UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA UA 79-SF-187 AIRFOIL, UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA UA 79-SF-187 AIRFOIL MAIN ELEMENT, GOE 646 AIRFOIL. The S6062 8% is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
