    The document discusses the selection and structural layout of airfoils for an aircraft. It specifically examines calculating the mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) of a tail airfoil for a swept wing configuration. The MAC is determined using an equation that takes the chord at the root and tip as inputs, allowing the MAC to be estimated as 497.572 inches for the given values of 717.72 inches at the root and 158.4 inches at the tip.

    B. Tail Airfoil
    For Swept Wing Configuration

    Given:
    Chord Root (CR) = 717.72 inch
    Chord Tip (CT) = 158.4 inch

    Required:
    MAC (Mean Aerodynamic Chord)

    Equation:
    2 𝐶 𝐶
    𝑀𝐴𝐶 = 3 ((𝐶𝑇 + 𝐶𝑅 ) − (𝐶 𝑇+𝐶𝑅 ))
    𝑇 𝑅

    SOLUTION:
    MAC = 2/3 ((158.4 in + 717.72 in) – ((158.4 in)(717.72 in) / 158.4 in +
    717.72 in))

    ANSWER:
    MAC = 497.572 inch
