You are to design a candidate wing for a sport RC electric aircraft to the following requirements: What is the value of |2y/b| at which this maximum cl (y) occurs? Enter your answer with two digits of
precision in the form X.YeP.
density: ρ = 1.2 kg/m3

speed: V = 6.0 m/s

lift: L = 5.0 N
Assume that the aircraft will be designed to y such that the angle of attack of the freestream relative
to a chosen reference line is zero, that is α = 0. Determine the distribution of the geometric twist
span: b = 2.0 m
angle, αg (y) , required to achieve the desired lift distribution.

Assume that the lift distribution is elliptic and that the lift coe cient for the wing's airfoils (i.e. in a 2D
ow) is cl = 2π (α − αL =0 ) where αL =0 = −π/180 rad.
