Yes, of course you can't go thicker for airfoils with a supersonic
aircraft, and of course making it thicker has no really disadvantages
for a low speed aircraft (and also you should have to make it thick for
these low speeds, to obtain enough circulation) and it would have more
advantages like enabling armor plating and extra fuel storage.
By the way, you're very welcome Terry..:-) Last one I asked for you,
some other friend (Jacob?) said that you are still around and well but
extremely busy and no time for lugnet/LCAD... I'm still trying to find
out what kind of business force someone away from Lugnet, but haven't
yet found any answers..:-)
