Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1969-03-21 Abstract A literature study has been made of the effect of Reynolds number variations on the stall of wings. It appeared that large changes in maximum lift and type of stall may occur up to very high Reynolds numbers. The nature of these changes varies essentially for airfoils of different thickness and for moderately and highly swept wings. The Mach number effect has also been investigated to a limited extent. It was found that appreciable compressibility effects may already occur at very low wlach numbers.
