The Airbus A320 uses a modified version of the NACA 0012 airfoil for its wings, particularly in the wing's high-lift devices like flaps. The NACA 0012 is a symmetrical airfoil, providing a balance of lift and drag characteristics, making it suitable for a commercial aircraft. Its design allows for efficient performance during various phases of flight, including takeoff and landing. Modifications enhance its performance characteristics to meet the specific requirements of the A320's operational profile.
Modern airplanes have swept wings and so the NACA airfoil system is hard to apply since it it is constantly changing throughout the wing. Even if it was still in use, or another system is in use, the fact is that most companies keep these values extremely confidential since the wing is the most important part of a plane and they dont want other companies copying their airplanes.
