Aspect Ratio Correction Calculation

1. CL

2. 6

3. Δ = 18.24 k CL (degrees)

4. = (2)+(3)

5. CD06

6. ΔCDi = (CL2) / (π AR)

7. CD = (5)+(6)

8. Cos or Cos ( -i)

9. Sin or Sin ( -i)

10. CL Cos = (1)(8)

11. CD Sin = (7)(9)

12. CN = (10)+(11)

13. CL Sin = (1)(9)

14. CD Cos = (7)(8)

15. CC = (14) – (13)

16. CP6 = CP , CP6 = CPe

17. Cm c/4 = ( .25 –(16)) (12)

18. Cmac = ((17) + (ac - .25)(12))

Note: i = induced angle of attack

Column (1) = from given wing airfoil section (ΔCL = 0.2), apply range -1.0 to 2.0
Column (2) = reference to CL
Column (5) = from given wing airfoil section

K = 1/AR = ((1)/(AR6)) – ((1)/(AR))

CD = CD6 + ((CL2)/(π)) ((1/AR6) – (1/AR))

CD = CD6 + ((CL2)/(πAR))

CPe = extension CP = a.c. + (Cmac/CN) Cmac = from wing section f(CL)
