Question
This is an aerodynamics question.

Transcribed Image Text:Consider an elliptical wing with a certain Aspect Ratio (AR). The wing has a
profile with constant Ca over a range of angles of attack, where lift scales
linearly. Express the C, value at which the wing lift to drag (L/D) ratio
becomes maximum as a function of the wing AR and profile C, value. If
AR = 10 and Ca = 0.006, find the values of C,, C, and L/D when L/D is
maximum.
