Activity 1.2.5
Aircraft take flight through their ability to generate lift. As fluid flows over an airfoil, lift and drag are generated, which can be calculated using the lift equation.
Conclusion:
1. Describe how the coefficient of lift could be changed to lower the landing speed.
Deploying the flaps increase the coefficient of lift and creates drag.
2. What factors could have changed the aircraft drag in this calculations?
Parasite Drag
3. Explain any surprises you discovered about the magnitude of the figures used in the question?
I didn't discover anything.
