KF Airfoil Wind Tunnel Testing

This young man did a wind tunnel test on a flat foam airfoil, a traditional airfoil and a KF step. The flat airfoil performed poorly all around (no surprise), while the KF produced more drag than the standard airfoil, BUT... the KF step also produced more lift.

In a subsequent video he tests a flat airfoil and three KF airfoils on the same plane. The results are fascinating. Powers RC did the same thing with park jets.

Worth a look.
