Analysis of calculation results of lift and drag forces for several wings using nonlinear section data

Abstract

Calculation results for 11 different finite span wings are presented. Calculations were made by a combination of a numerical solution of lifting line theory with a technique developed to evaluate nonlinear section lift data. Aerodynamic coefficients for these wings are compared to the research results of other authors and to experimental data. First Published Online: 14 Oct 2010
