There has never been any official explanation as to why the KFm airfoils work in the first place. And, please let me know if you disagree with it. I am gona copy and ranslate that right into the german RC-Network Forum. I have just written this piece as to why I think the KFm3 airfoil is a heavy lifter. In this extensive examination, numerous working circumstances are implemented, and it was discovered that the seventh model is absolutely ready for deployment. The suggested seventh model-based HDVAWT performs better than the traditional and other proposed models. As a result, it is proposed that Model 7 (best model) is superior to other models, and the same model is finalized as a better wind energy extractor and acceptable model for real-time implementations. Model 6 outperforms the standard model by 13.96%, whereas Model 7 outperforms the base model by 47.04%. Models 6 and 7 are the top performers in this comprehensive investigation. Thus, the final HDVAWT has been presented for real-time applications, which is the primary goal of this work also, the proposed HDVAWT outperforms all existing vertical axis wind turbines. The KFm3 airfoil also performed better when tested at 80 and 162 RPMs. In comparison to the NACA 0018 airfoil, the KFm3 airfoil with 12% step thickness and a rectangular trailing edge demonstrated a 47% efficiency under 6.65 m/s wind velocity and a rotational velocity of 120 RPM. This was done to boost the power production and efficiency of the Darrieus VAWT using an H-rotor.

ANSYS Workbench 17.2 has been used to execute 3D numerical simulations for all of the proposed design airfoils, including the NACA 0018 airfoil and a series of Kline–Fogleman modified NACA 0018 airfoils. CFD is a versatile approach for dealing with a wide range of difficult problems since it depends significantly on computer systems to solve forced real-time challenges. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the suggested approach for studying the performance of various HDVAWT design profiles. airplanes, studies conducted at NASA in 1974 revealed poor lift-to-drag ratio and that the KF airfoils offered no advantages over conventional airfoils 18.
Because the design profiles of basic and advanced airfoils are comparable, this study has been performed to undertake extensive investigations of the two types of airfoils. Because of their simple design, high climb and wind resistance, they are now widely used in remotely flown planes. In the early 1960s, a series of KF airfoils were constructed and used in paper planes for the first time. The Kline–Fogleman airfoil, sometimes known as the KF airfoil, is a basic airfoil with one or more steps along the length of the wing. The enforced flatback airfoils are based on Kline–Fogleman airfoils, which have been subdivided into 12 sub-classifications on the inside. But there are no hard numbers that I could find on just how good these airfoils are (or how good they can be) in terms of lift to drag (L/D) ratio.Design and multiperspectivity-based performance investigations of H-Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine through computational fluid dynamics adopted with moving reference frame approaches | International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies | Oxford Academic The design seems to be plenty good for powered fun-flyer planes I've seen at least some KFm slope gliders, too, and a well-circulated picture (provided below) states that the KFm3 variant has "fantastic flight characteristics" and is good for sailplanes. There's little information I could find about how the stepped design affects the airfoil's aerodynamic efficiency, however. Kline-Fogleman (KFm) airfoils, despite their seeming contradiction with known principles of aerodynamics, seem to be very popular in RC modelling, and are known to have a peculiar stall behavior, with a gradual transition to high drag without loss of lift, unlike the sharp stall of traditional smooth airfoils.
