Studio Classroom Problems

This document discusses aerospace engineering concepts including: 1) Calculating the lift and drag coefficients of an airfoil wing with a given area, efficiency factor, and profile drag coefficient. 2) Calculating the pressure, pressure coefficient, and determining if compressibility can be neglected for air flowing over a wing at a given speed and altitude. 3) Designing a supersonic wind tunnel with a Mach number of 3, including calculating the required reservoir pressure and temperature, test section velocity, throat velocity, and contraction ratio.

ir. N. Timmer

Consider the following wing:


-

A=5
Assume airfoil is NACA 65-210 (see next slide. Use the red line)
Wing efficiency factor =0.9
Profile drag coefficient =0.004 for 6o

If the wing is at 6 degrees, calculate the lift and drag coefficient

An airplane flies with a speed V = 200 km/hour in standard atmosphere at an altitude h =

3000 m. In certain point A on the wing upper surface, just outside the boundary layer, the air
velocity relative to the wing VA = 75 m/s. At 3000 m altitude in standard atmosphere
- The pressure is:

ph = 70121 N/m2.

- The air density is:

h = 0.90926 kg/m3.

- The temperature is:

Th = -4.5o C.

Make plausible that the compressibility of air in this case can be neglected
Calculate the pressure in A.
Calculate the pressure coefficient Cp in A
