There have a thin and symmetry wing. aspect ratio is 10, span is 5m, taper ratio is 0.8 and δ=τ=0.055. wing's speed is 180km/h and lift is 1.000N. Determine this wing's angle of attack(air density is 1.23Kg/m³)
GIVEN :
Aspect ratio, AR = 10
Span, S = 5m
Taper ratio = 0.8
= 0.055
Wing's Speed, V = 180 km/hr
Lift, L = 1000N
SOLN :
Drag Coefficient = CL = / [1 + ( / .AR)] = 0.055 / [1 + (0.055 / .10)] = 0.0549
Angle of attack, = { [ 2.L / (.V2) ] - }x (1 / CL) = { [2x1000 / (1.23 x 502) ] - 0.055 } x (1/0.0549) = 10.825 deg.
