Hi all,

I'm currently doing a project on gliders designed within the last ten
years and one of the crucial aspects is knowing the mean camber profile
for various lift coefficient calculations. I was wondering whether
a) Any modern gliders are using NACA type airfoils?
b) Whether anyone knows what the parabolic equation of the ASG-29
profile?

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
