I ran some simulations for different airfoils in the same condition:
- cruise at medium low altitude, Cl = 0.4, speed = 0.26 mach, Re = 4000000, wing loading >= 20 lbs/sqft.
I first simulated a large number of different airfoils, but finally only picked the couple of NACAs and the NLF215F with -10 degree negative cruise flap and without.
The NLF215F has a clearly better overall performance all over the Cl range what it comes to Cd. Also the pitching moment of this airfoil becomes low when the cruise flap is at -10 degrees.
