TLDR
In this paper, the authors measured the lift, drag, and pitching moment about the quarter chord on a series of thin flat plates and cambered plates at chord Reynolds numbers varying between 60,000 and 200,000.Abstract:
The design of micro aerial vehicles requires a better understanding of the aerodynamics of small low-aspect-ratio wings An experimental investigation has focused on measuring the lift, drag, and pitching moment about the quarter chord on a series of thin flat plates and cambered plates at chord Reynolds numbers varying between 60,000 and 200,000 Results show that the cambered plates offer better aerodynamic characteristics and performance It also appears that the trailing-edge geometry of the wings and the turbulence intensity in the wind tunnel do not have a strong effect on the lift and drag for thin wings at low Reynolds numbers Moreover, the results did not show the presence of any hysteresis, which is usually observed with thick airfoils/wingsread more

Analysis of calculation results of lift and drag forces for several wings using nonlinear section data
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of a numerical solution of lifting line theory with a technique developed to evaluate nonlinear section lift data was used to calculate the aerodynamic coefficients for 11 different finite span wings.

Simulation of flow around a Viking ship rudder.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Oseberg ship rudder was analyzed from angles of attack α=-10 to α=10 degrees, with a 5 degree increase between simulations, and it was discovered that increasing the rudder rake angle proved advantageous to avoid rapid oscillations of lift, stabilising the lift coefficient as β increased.

Convergence in Gliding Animals: Morphology, Behavior, and Mechanics
TL;DR: A broad overview of gliding in diverse lineages, highlighting the ecological and physical pressures that have shaped this form of aerial locomotion in the animal kingdom, was provided in this article , where the relevance of specific gliding features is informed by the laws of physics: to successfully execute a glide, the animal must use a combination of body shape/size changes (morphology) along with attaining and modulating a favorable body posture (behavior).

Wind tunnel tests of wings at Reynolds numbers below 70 000
TL;DR: In this article, a planform wing was tested at Reynolds numbers as low as 20 000 in a low turbulence wind tunnel and the best profile was a thin plate with a 5% circular arc camber.
