Hi,

Thanks a lot for your responses.
So, one may say that a given airfoil has different Re depending on the weather and on the airspeed, but a larger airfoil has definitely a larger Re than a smaller one, providing the same weather and airspeed.

A larger Re produces a thinner boundary layer, which means less drag and better stall characteristic.

Please correct me if it sounds untrue.


Cheers,
