(Solved): Example 2-4 Lift on a Wing: Fig. 2-16 Lift FL on a wing of chord length Lc free-stream speed ...
Example 2-4 Lift on a Wing: Fig. 2-16 Lift FL? on a wing of chord length Lc? free-stream speed V with density ?, viscosity ?, and speed of sound c. The angle of attack ? is measured relative to the free-stream flow direction. Some aeronautical engineers are designing an airplane and wish to predict the lift produced by their new wing design (Fig. 2-16). The chord length Lc? of the wing is 1.12m, and its planform areaA (area viewed from the top when the wing is at zero angle of attack) is 10.7m2. The prototype is to fly at V=52.0m/s close to the ground where T=25?C. They build a one-tenth scaled model of the wing to test in a pressurized wind tunnel. The wind tunnel can be pressurized to a maximum of 5atm. At what speed and pressure should they run the wind tunnel in order to achieve dynamic similarity?
