The NACA LS (1) – 04XX airfoils when compared to NACA airfoils with same thickness had higher L/D ratios. For a lift coefficient of 1.0, what was this increase approximately in percentage?

(a) 80%

(b) 20%

(c) 50%

(d) Less than 10%

The correct answer is (C) 50%

For explanation: The LIFT COEFFICIENT of 1 is VITAL for the aviation sector. The new low-speed airfoils developed had higher L/D ratios. For a lift coefficient equal to 1, the increase was about 50%.
