Chapter 5, Problem 5.10P

If the elliptical wing of the Spitfire in Problem 5.9 were replaced by a tapered wing with a taper ratio of 0.4, everything else remaining the same, calculate the induced drag coefficient. Compare this value with that obtained in Problem 5.9. What can you conclude about the relative effect of planform shape change on the drag of the airplane at high speeds?
