7:29 I’m noticing that the laminar airfoil also appears to reverse its curves near the trailing edge so that the reuniting streams have a closer angle once they rejoin, probably inducing lower drag, perhaps similar to the effect winglets have.
There is a Natural Laminar Flow Airfoil (I don't remember the model number) that is supposed to be fairly good at remaining laminar or not tripping to large turbulent boundary layer when bugs or particles adhere to the leading edge. I almost picked it. It may have been NLF-2.

Im in junior year aerospac engineering and I have to design an airfoil for a specific purpose.This video really helps me a lot.You are my savior
Glad I could help.
Very helpful video, thanks!
I wound up choosing a laminar foil for my design, the eppler 793, due to a thick camber and high cl/cd

Hi, I am enjoying these videos. Do you have a better location for xflr5 software? The link doesn't work.
Go here: www.xflr5.tech/xflr5.htm and click the "Download" text.
What is the best airfoil design books?
I've only looked at a couple so I can't tell you the best airfoil design book. I use "Theory of Wing Sections".
can u help me ???
