Objectives |
|
Airplanes can fly through the air by the lift that is generated by their wings. In order to generate lift effectively, wings are designed to have a cross-sectional shape (airfoil) appropriate to the desired flight speed, and ailerons and other auxiliary systems may also be used according to circumstances. In addition to understanding the principles behind the generation of lift, we must also study the lift coefficient, drag coefficient, and other key design parameters for evaluating the performance of wings. The perfect fluid theory around wings is essential for a quantitative understanding of lift. Finally, students will also learn how viscosity affects the flow around a wing.
