The process for calculating camber comes from “The Winning Solar Car”.

  1. Identify the specifications for a symmetric airfoil with superior drag characteristics and good optimization for laminar boundary layer length

  2. Identify the point of max thickness, use this to record Xmax, the x coordinate of this point where x=0 is at the tip of the frontmost portion of the aerobody

  3. Apply this formula to various points along the aerobody

  4. This formula denotes the shift upward of the centerline at the X. C% is the desired camber and should be within 2%-5% for improved aerodynamic properties.
