A finite wing of area 1.5 ft 2 and aspect ratio of 6 is tested in a subsonic wind tunnel at a velocity of 130 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.
