Fighter NACA profiles.

Can anybody give the NACA wing profiles of the main frontline fighter of the respective nations and say something about their idiosyncracies? Italian series 5 fighters are of interest, too.

Hard to imagine the research that went into that spreadsheet. Well done.

Actually, I did an import from the Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage.

I have been collecting airfoils for 20+ years, but this guide has everything I found and way more. Someone has access to design reports that I am not aware of. Glad they did what they did. Cheers.

Late to the subject but THANK YOU. Tremendous spadework.

Doesn't giver you the airfoil Idiosyncrasies, but does tell you the airfoil ... so it's a partial answer at best.

Let see, some of them fly quite well. Others not so much. Your mileage may vary. That about sums it up.
