Problem
We want to analyze the aerodynamic performances of a trapezoidal wing with a plant-form
as in Figure 1(all dimensions given in meters). The wing mounts two triple slotted Fowler
flaps. The efficiency factor (Oswald factor) of the wing is e=0.94. The wing is build
employing NACA 4415 airfoils with the following characteristics:
cl=0.2+5.92(in rad )
cd=6.410-3-1.210-3cl+3.510-3cl2
On regard of the effects of the Fowler flaps in the maximum coefficient of lift, it is known
that:
The increase of the maximum coefficient of lift of the airfoil (clmax) can be approxi-
mated by the following expression:
clmax=2c'c
being c the chord in the root and c' the extended chord (consider c'=3[m]).
The increase of the maximum coefficient of lift of the wing (CLmax) can be related to
the increase of the maximum coefficient of lift of the airfoil (clmax) by means of the
following expression:
CLmax=0.92clmaxSfwSwcos.
Based on the data given in Figure 1, calculate:
Chord in the root and tip of the wing, wing-span and enlargement. Wet wing surface
and surface wet by the flaps. Aircraft swept measured from the leading edge (15pts).
Assuming a clean configuration (no flap deflection), typical of cruise conditions, and knowing
also that the stall of the airfoil takes place at an angle of attack of 16 :
