This camber line is formed by two parabolic segments that match in value and slope at :math:`p`. The camber line equation is: .. math:: y = \Bigg\{ \begin{array}{ll} m p^{-2} x (2 p - x) & \mbox{if } x \leq p \\ m (1 - p)^{-2} (1 - 2 p + x (2 p - x)) & \mbox{if } x > p \end{array} .. tip:: Jacobs, Eastman N.; Ward, Kenneth E. and Pinkerton, Robert M.: *The Characteristics of 78 Related Airfoil Sections From Tests in the Variable-Density Wind Tunnel.* NACA Rep. 460, 1933 Ladson, Charles L.; Brooks, Cuyler W.; Hill, Acquilla S. and Sproles Darrell W.: *Computer Program To Obtain Ordinates for NACA Airfoils* NACA TM 4741, 1996.
