P51D Wing & Fuselage Ordinates (1 Viewer)

[SparrowTheNerd]

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!

Doesn't answer your question but some interesting photos.

The New England Air Museum’s (NEAM) North American P-51D Mustang, N13Y, has been moved out of storage and into their 11,000 square foot restoration hangar, where crew chief Pete McConnell and his team are now putting the historic machine back into its 1948 Thompson Trophy-winning configuration.

Its a lot of typing, but these are the loft coordinates of the P-51D/K wing. Be careful, as the wing of the P-51B/C and P-51H are different. N13Y started life as a P-51D.

Thank you so much!! That's exactly the sort of stuff I'm looking for. I've been struggling a lot with finding stuff specifically on the D variant, lots of info out there on the B/C that has tricked me a few times until I looked closely. I'm gonna get started on CADing those wings with this new information

Do you know what the "expanded" section is referring to?
