<b>Rectangular Supercritical Wing (Ricketts)</b> - design and measured locations are provided in an Excel file <a href="https://c3.ndc.nasa.gov/dashlink/static/media/dataset/RSW_airfoil_coordinates_ricketts.xls">RSW_airfoil_coordinates_ricketts.xls</a> . One sheet is with Non dimensional coordinates (RSW-nd) to be able to compare with other supercritical airfoils. The other sheet (RectSupercriticalWing) has the data which should be used to generate the grids. <b>Benchmark Supercritical Wing</b> are available in PDF file of tables. The data was OCR'd. Matlab code was written to read data line by line to be able to extract the data. The "*" flag associated with points that have deviation greater the specified value were replaced with blank space. Bad lines were omitted - lines that have non-numerical digits.
