Default Delta plane airfoil

Low aspect ratio deltas have substantial three dimensional flow over the whole wing and laminar flow is quite unlikely. airfoils are disigned for two dimensional flow. As a result almost any thin, low camber airfoil will likely do. There is the turbulence of prop wash, tip vortex and middle effect to prevent laminar flow.
