Basic Equations:
where a and ao are the lift slope per radian
and e1 is a factor that depends on the
geometric shape of the wing, including the
aspect ratio and taper ratio

For a high-aspect-ratio straight wing, we will also use the Prandtl-Glauert rule for a compressibility
correction.

What is the lift coefficient for the same wing at the same angle of attack as in previous example , but for a free-stream
Mach number of 0.7?
