Vickers Viking - aerofoil section

Post by clavel9 »

Hi folks

I have been doing some research on the Vickers Viking and similar aircraft of the same era. I was wondering if anyone knew what the aerofoil sections of the Viking were. For a relatively well known aircraft, data seem to be very hard to come by.

Thanks in advance,

Brendan.

Hi Brendan

No idea but the wing was the same as the Wellington although most had conventional structure.

Years ago Aviation News publish 3 views of the Valletta and I thing that had cross sections.

Air Pictorial continued to sell the plans

Hi Brendan

I built the models from the drawings Garry noted in Aviation News Vol 3 Number 17 24th Jan-6th Feb 1975.

used correct cross sections but it doesn't say which NACA profile they are.
Regards
Rick
