Hi all,
I am a senior-year aerospace engineering student at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute working on my capstone project, which is an analysis of the N13Y (a modified P51-D-20-NA, and winner of the 1948 Thompson Trophy Race).
I was wondering if anyone had ordinates or blueprints for the wing airfoil sections and/or the fuselage station profiles of the P51-D that they would be willing to share? I have been struggling to find resources that are not hundreds of dollars, and while we have access to the aircraft itself I doubt I can measure things like airfoil sections effectively without 3D scanning (which it is too glossy to scan!). I did find the root and tip airfoils on the UIUC airfoil database, but I doubt I can simply loft between them.
As an added bonus, if anyone is able to share the station drawings of the Hamilton Standard 6547A-6, which was used on the N13Y, that would be awesome
Thank you so much!
