Airfoil Selection • Wing CL determined • From constraint diagram (W/S) = 1.38 • Dynamic pressure, q, for cruise conditions, and for near stall conditions. • Rectangular wing geometry chosen for ease of construction, section lift coefficients found based on elliptical lift distribution. • Section Lift coefficients found at Cruise and Max lift conditions. • Examined different foils that would satisfy the above Cl at minimum drag.
Airfoil Selection Rectangular Wing Cl distribution : Cruise: H = 1000ft V = 50ft/s Re = 93150 M = 0.0449 Elliptical Lift Distribution for minimum induced Drag
Airfoil Selection • Based on the Cl variation (0-0.6), Xfoil was used to examine suitable foils.
Airfoil Selection • Based on Drag Bucket location NACA 4412 was chosen.
Airfoil Performance • NACA 4412, Cl generated for near stall Conditions H = Sl V = 33ft/s Re = 573540 M = 0.0269
Airfoil Performance • NACA 4412 Foil, Rectangular planform, no taper, no sweep. • AR =5, Chord =2.8 ft, Span = 14 ft • CL = 1.29, CD = 0.025 (V=33 ft/s), CL = 0.481, CD = 0.015 (V=50ft/s) • S = 39 ft^2
