The state of the art as practiced by a handful of aerofoil designers is discussed. The methods used, both theoretical and experimental, are described. Aerofoil/application design integration and expansion of the design envelope to lower and higher Reynolds numbers are illustrated by examples, including the slotted, natural-laminar-flow aerofoil.
