WORTMANN FX 77-W-258 AIRFOIL
Wing Geometry Simulator
The WORTMANN FX 77-W-258 AIRFOIL is a thick 17.3% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 8.7% at 31% 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 -8.7°.
Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 9.7° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 75 at typical UAV and light-aircraft Reynolds numbers — useful benchmarks before running a full XFOIL or NeuralFoil polar. The 17% thickness provides structural depth for main-spar placement without excessive drag penalty at moderate speeds.
Designers evaluating the FX77W258 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: EPPLER 420 AIRFOIL, GOE 244 (MVA PR.4) AIRFOIL, N-24, GOE 421 AIRFOIL, UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW GU25-5(11)8 AIRFOIL. The WORTMANN FX 77-W-343 AIRFOIL is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
