Question
The wing of a tactical support aircraft is approximately rectangular with a wingspan (the length
perpendicular to the flow direction) of 16.5 m and a chord (the length parallel to the flow
direction) of 2.75 m. The airplane is flying at standard sea level with a velocity of 250 ms¯¹.
Assume the wing is approximated by a flat plate. Assume incompressible flow. Use μ =
1.789 x 10-5 kg/ms
(a) If the flow is considered to be completely laminar, calculate the boundary layer
thickness at the trailing edge and the total skin friction drag.
