a) There is a finite wing with an aspect ration equal to 9. This wing has an elliptical lift distribution. The lift slope for the airfoil section is 0.16/degree. Calculate and compare the lift slope for i) a straight wing ii) a swept wing with a half-chord line sweep of 40 degrees b) There is a NACA airfoil given the number 3407. Using this number, find the primary dimensions of the airfoil in meters if the chord length is 1.2...
Consider a finite wing with an aspect ratio of 8. Assume an elliptical lift distribution. The lift slope for the airfoil section is 0.15 per degree. Calculate and compare the lift slopes for (a) a straight wing, and (b) a swept wing, with a half-chord line sweep of 35 degrees.
The large airplane has a span of 50 meters, an elliptic wing of aspect ratio 6, a mass of 60,000 kg and is flying at sea level density (1.2 kg/m^3) at 100 m/s. Assume that it has a NACA 0009 (symmetric) airfoil, i. Calculate the actual lift coefficient for the wing ii. Calculate the geometric angle of attack. iii. What is the downwash angle? iv. What is the downwash velocity at the wing? v. What is the strength (circulation) of...
2. A recreational airplane has a rectangular wing of constant chord c 1.0m and spanb 10m which uses the same airfoil section from tip to tip. The lift curve slope of this airfoil is shown in the figure below. It is flying at the cruising speed of 50m/s through SSL ISA conditions. Assuming no 3D (finite span) effects (we will cover these in subsequent weeks), compute the following: (a) Cruising at sea level the angle of attack of the wing...
