Unswept Wings: coefficients and forces (calculation)

Calculation template

[navalapp_app charts=’lifting_line_dist’ tabs=’yes’ delft=’no’ overview=’no’ aero=’no’ wing=’yes’ calculate_button=’yes’ levels=’2,6,3,4,5′]

How does it work?

This calculation template uses Prandtl’s classical Lifting-line Theory.

All the results are available for angles of attack from 0 to 15 degrees and are presented in chart and table formats:

  • Wing / Appendage coefficients: CL, CDi, e (Oswald’s efficiency factor);
  • Wing / Appendage forcers: lift, lift-induced drag;

Standalone wing (Gap = Yes)

Wing attached to a solid surface (Gap = No)
