Effects of upper surface modification on the aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA 63 sub 2-215 airfoil section

An upper surface modification designed to increase the maximum lift coefficient of a 63 sub 2 - 215 airfoil section was tested at Mach numbers of 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 Reynolds numbers of 1.3 x 1 million, 2 x 10 sub 6 and 2.5 x 1 million. Comparisons of the aerodynamic coefficients before and after the modification were made. The upper surface modification increased the maximum lift coefficient of the airfoil significantly at all conditions.
