    The document discusses calculations related to boundary layer thickness and skin friction drag for the wing of an A-10A airplane flying at 200 m/s. It provides dimensions of the wing and asks the reader to calculate: 1) Boundary layer thickness and skin friction drag assuming laminar flow over the wing modeled as a flat plate. 2) Boundary layer thickness and skin friction drag assuming turbulent flow. 3) Skin friction drag assuming transition from laminar to turbulent flow occurs at a Reynolds number of 106.

    4.34 The wing of the Fairchild Republic A‐10A twin‐jet close‐support airplane is approximately rectangular 
    with a wingspan (the length perpendicular to the flow direction) of 17.5 m and a chord (the length parallel to 
    the flow direction) of 3 m. The airplane is flying at standard sea level with a velocity of 200 m/s. If the flow is 
    considered to be completely laminar, calculate the boundary layer thickness at the trailing edge and the total 
    skin friction drag. Assume that the wing is approximated by a flat plate. Assume incompressible flow 

    4.35 Using the scenario and values from Prob. 4.34, assume that the flow is completely turbulent. Calculate 
    the boundary layer thickness at the trailing edge and the total skin friction drag. Compare these turbulent 
    results with the laminar results from Prob. 4.34.

    4.36 If the critical Reynolds number for transition is 106, calculate the skin friction drag for the wing in Prob. 
    4.34.
