Problem 3 A wing is mounted in a wind tunnel in the manner shown below. It is free to rotate 0.1 C ahead of the leading edge. The centre of gravity of the wing is 0.4 C aft of the leading edge; the wing loading (W/S) 6.0 lb/ft. Other aerodynamic characteristics of the wing are: aerodynamic centre s at 024 when C h moe c int is 0 25. Tumel speed: 60 mph. Find the lift coefficient at which the...

1. (18%) A certain thin, symmetric airfoil stalls at angles of attack greater than α-16". At α 16", it produces a lift per unit span of L' 2,000 Nm at standard sea-level conditions; its chord length is c m. a) Use thin airfoil theory to calculate the airfoil speed, Vp, just prior to stall, i.e. at a 16 b) For this real airfoil, will the a at which stall occurs depend on the Reynolds number? Why? c) Use thin airfoil...
