You guys gotta be kidding me! I suppose the Navy's using TLAR's on all of it's unmanned aircraft too? I can agree that it is difficult to get airfoil data in the appropriate reynolds number ranges, but it is possible. And yes, the construction method will dictate how successful you are at reproducing the shape, but you as engineers should know as well as anyone that garbage in equals garbage out.
