A finite wing area of 1.5 ft2 and aspect ratio of 6 is tested in a subsonic wind tunnel at a velocity of 190 ft/s at standard sea-level conditions. At an angle of attack of ?1°, the measured lift and drag are 0 and 0.181 lb, respectively. At an angle of attack of 2°, the lift and drag are measured as 5.0 and 0.23 lb, respectively. Calculate the span efficiency factor and the infinite-wing lift slope. (Round the final answers to four decimal places.)

1) The span efficiency factor, e, is ________ .

2) The infinite-wing lift slope is _______ per degree.

Strain gauges are placed at two locations on a wing that is being tested in a wind tunnel. The first gauge is near the fixed base of the wing and the other gauge is near the free wing tip. Two tests are performed: (a) the wing vibration is recorded for low velocity laminar flow and (b) for high velocity turbulent flow. For each of these tests, discuss the following: (i) Describe and compare the time histories you would expect to...

A wing-body model is tested in a wind tunnel with a flow of 100 m/s at standard sea-level conditions. The wing area is 1.5 m^2 and the mean aerodynamic chord length is 0.45 m. Measurements of lift force, L, and moment about the center of gravity, MCG are made using the wind tunnel force balance. The lead mass is removed and a horizontal tail without an elevator is added to the model. The distance from the airplane center of gravity...
