Chapter 5, Problem 5.4P

The Piper Cherokee (a light, single-engine general aviation aircraft) has a wing area of 170 ft 2 and a wing span of 32 ft. Its maximum gross weight is 2450 lb. The wing uses an NACA 65-415 airfoil, which has a lift slope of 0.1033 degree 1 and α L = 0 = 3 ° . Assumer τ = 0.12 . If the airplane is cruising at 120 mi/h at standard sea level at its maximum gross weight and is in straight-and-level flight, calculate the geometric angle of attack of the wing.

The Piper Cherokee (a light, single-engine general aviation aircraft) has a wing area of 170 ft2 and a wing span of 32 ft. Its maximum gross weight is 2450 lb. The airplane is cruising at 122 mi/h at standard sea level at its maximum gross weight and is in straight-and-level flight. The span efficiency factor e for the complete airplane is generally much less than that for the finite wing alone. Assume e = 0.64. Calculate the induced drag for the airplane. (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)   The induced drag for the airplane is.............lb.
The measured lift slope for the NACA 23012 airfoil is 0.1080 degree−1,and αL=0 = −1.3◦. Consider a finite wing using this airfoil, with AR = 8and taper ratio = 0.8. Assume that δ = τ . Calculate the lift and induceddrag coefficients for this wing at a geometric angle of attack = 7◦.
The test results of a NACA 2518 shows: Angle of attack 0 deg 8 deg CL 0.045 0.75 If the airfoil is used to construct a wing with a span of 60 ft and a wing area of 450 square feet. Determine the wing lift curve slope. (e = 0.88)
