Airfoil Data
FXLV152

The WORTMANN FX L V-152 AIRFOIL is a thin 7.6% chord-thickness airfoil with a maximum camber of 3.8% at 37% 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 -3.8°.

Thin airfoil theory predicts a stall angle near 11.8° and a peak lift-to-drag ratio around 57 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 FXLV152 typically compare it against profiles of similar thickness: S3021-095-84, USA 41 AIRFOIL, Legionair 140 (digitized and smoothed by MSelig), DF102, MH 122 9.32%. The AG455ct -02f rot. is another reference profile frequently considered alongside it.
