Question

An aircraft with a flat, drag-less, rectangular wing is in straight and level flight. The weight of the aircraft is 9 kN, the chord of the wing is 2 m, and the area of the wing is 22m². The pressure on the wing is constant and equals p?=p??? +3000 N/m². The pressure on the wing's upper surface varies with position along the chord as: p?(x)=p??? +B(x)???. With an angle of attack of 30°, calculate: a) The span of the wing b) The value of B needed to maintain level flight (For level flight, L=W per unit span) c) The moment about the leading edge of the wing d) The center of pressure of the wing

          An aircraft with a flat, drag-less, rectangular wing is in straight and level flight.
The weight of the aircraft is 9 kN, the chord of the wing is 2 m, and the area of the wing is 22m².
The pressure on the wing is constant and equals p?=p??? +3000 N/m². The pressure on the wing's
upper surface varies with position along the chord as: p?(x)=p??? +B(x)???. With an angle of
attack of 30°, calculate:

a) The span of the wing
b) The value of B needed to maintain level flight (For level flight, L=W per unit span)
c) The moment about the leading edge of the wing
d) The center of pressure of the wing
