 What is a drag polar?
• It is a graph or an equation that accounts for all the types of drag in
an airplane and how it relates to lift.

• An airplane weighing 5,000 lb. has a wing area of 250 ft2. If the lift-
curve slope is 6.0 per radian and the angle of attack of zero lift is –2
deg. Calculate the angle of attack (in degrees) of this airplane at a
level flight speed of 200 mph under standard sea-level conditions
• ANS : -0.132 deg

 FINITE WING “3D” VS INFINITE WING “2D”
FINITE WING “3D”

Finite wing has tips. As a result,

the higher pressure air
from beneath the wing
tries to move around
the tips towards the lower
pressure above the wing.
This motion creates a swirling vortex
of air from each tip that trails behind
the wing. For that reason,
we call these vortices trailing vortices.

INFINITE WING “2D”

Prepared by: Engr Nebuchadnezzar N. Tiglao 43

 INFINITE WING “2D”
The flow around a 2D wing is not able to move in a third dimension like
in that 3D wing. This situation is not possible on a real aircraft since one
cannot build an infinite wing. However, an airfoil section tested in a
wind tunnel is a 2D wing because the walls of the tunnel prevent the
flow from being able to travel around the tips.
