Airfoil Data
FX84W127

The FX 84-W-127 is a 10.1% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 5.0% at 37% 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 -5.0°.

Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.7° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 64 at typical UAV and light-aircraft Reynolds numbers — useful benchmarks before running a full XFOIL or NeuralFoil polar. The 10% thickness provides structural depth for main-spar placement without excessive drag penalty at moderate speeds.

Designers evaluating the FX84W127 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: Smoothed ATR airfoil coordinates obtained using AFSMO (Harry Morgan's NASA smoothing program), ARA-D 13% AIRFOIL, NACA 66(3)-218, GOE 685 AIRFOIL, AH 63-K-127/24. The FX 84-W-140 is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
