[edit] Definition of Camber...

This page needs to show how a camber can be calculated. I don't know is it: Camber = Volume Upper Chamber/Volume Lower Chamber? Perhaps Camber=Thickness of upper curved surface/Thickness of lower curved surface ? Perhaps Camber=Length of upper curve / Length of lower curve?

I come to wikipedia to answer such questions. If or when I find the answer I will happily suggest an alteration of the page.

Many thanks however to the author for sharing what he has. It has been helpful.

[edit] Stalling angle/speed

What changes in camber affect stalling speed and angle?

[edit] About the graph

I added a different graph which I believe is more precise or clear. I doubt the previous one has errors in defining "upper, lower camber". It is not very clear that the dash line is acturally cordline. --Natasha2006 14:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
