    Hey,

    I am currently designing a general aviation amphibious aircraft, and am looking at designing the wing. I saw some other posts about a similar airfoil, so I thought some one would be able to answer the question I have.
    What is the position of the maximum thickness of this airfoil?

    Thanks for your replies,

    You should check this page: http://www.worldofkrauss.com/foils/1546
    You can also download foil coordinates by choosing the format (xls, dat or polar) at the right side of the website page.
    Cheers

    The GAW series of airfoils have been a disappointment. They don't appear to perform as well as one would expect from their wind tunnel test data. Some of the classic series of airfoils might be a better choice.
