The polished wing of an unmanned aerial vehicle can be regarded approximately

as a flat plate with a total wing span of m and a chord length length in the

streamwise direction of m The vehicle is flying at a constant velocity of

ms

i Calculate the total skin friction drag force on both surfaces of the wing

assuming that the flow in the boundary layer is fully laminar.

ii During testing of the UAV, small bolts on the leading edge of the wing loosen

and the wing leading edge starts vibrating. By how much, if at all, could this

change the skin friction drag force?
