It might be time to elaborate on what Steve Eberhart eluded to earlier. After either tunnel tests or analysis (I forget which), Ashok decided there was something he didn't like about the characteristics of the AS5048 near stall...some sort of burble or separation, or something, which is when he declared it less than optimal for use from root to tip, but OK if the airfoil was trasitioned from 18% at the root to 15% at the tip, which is what I've posted at http://www.krnet.org/as504x/templates.html .
