Overall (mm): length 100.0, width 20.0, height 10.98
- Eppler E817 hydrofoil: Richard Eppler (Eppler airfoil series; the UIUC file is titled 'Eppler 817 hydrofoil'). Maximum thickness 10.98 % of chord at 32.9 % chord; maximum camber 2.88 % of chord at 68.9 % chord.
- Coordinates from the UIUC Airfoil Coordinates Database (M. Selig, UIUC Applied Aerodynamics Group), file e817.dat, titled 'EPPLER 817 HYDROFOIL AIRFOIL'. Thickness and camber are computed by Xem Studio from those points (vertical distance at equal x, linear between points).
- The published trailing edge is sharp, so the section uses it as printed.
- The file is a 100 mm chord section, 20 mm deep: scale it uniformly to your chord, or import the STEP and sweep or loft it into a wing. Thickness scales with chord; the shape is the same at any size.
