For small angle of attack (a<5) cos(a)=1 and sin(a)=0. Hence c lc n and 1 [C C ( p ,u ) ]dx c ( p ,l ) For M<0.3 cl = cl = c(l ,0 ) 0 xc

Main differences between finite and infinite are that: 1. For finite wings you must add induced drag to profile drag. 2. The slope of lift curve is less for finite than infinite (a<a0) For swept wings, the angle reduced the M_cr by only seeing the V component perpendicular (normal) to the LE.
