RONCZ R1145MS MAIN ELEMENT at a glance
At a Reynolds number of 1,000,000 the RONCZ R1145MS MAIN ELEMENT reaches a best lift-to-drag ratio of 18 at Cl 0.78 (11.5°), and a minimum drag coefficient of 0.0373. It has not stalled by the end of the stored sweep. It carries zero lift at 1.5°.

Read from the stored NeuralFoil sweep at Ncrit 9, sampled every 0.5° of angle of attack. Max Cl is the stall peak rather than the largest value in the sweep, which runs far enough past stall for lift to climb again; a dash means the section had not stalled by the end of it, or for the zero-lift angle, that it stalls negatively before lift reaches zero. Each figure is the sample that won, and nothing is interpolated between Reynolds numbers — the exception is the zero-lift angle, which falls between two samples and is interpolated linearly across the crossing.

Performance Metrics
These curves are computed with NeuralFoil, a neural network trained on XFOIL, from a stored sweep across Reynolds number, Ncrit and angle of attack. How the polars are computed, and where they stop being trustworthy →
Run it at your Reynolds number
The curves above are a stored sweep at fixed Reynolds numbers. Enter the one your chord and speed actually give and NeuralFoil computes that polar now, onto this chart.
