Laboratory #1: Force Measurements in a Subsonic Wind Tunnel
A data report only is required for this laboratory. Please carefully follow the instructions for data report formats.
Additional Instructions
After the airfoil (2-d) data listed in the lab manual are acquired, but before
you go on to the wing (3-d) measurements, do the following. Acquire another
set of lift and drag measurements for the last flap deflection angle, but for a
wind speed roughly 60-70% of the value you used originally. Make the
measurements at the same angles of attack used in the original data. Treat
this data in the Results section as you would all the other data acquired in
the lab.
Questions
Your report must also include answers to the following questions in the appropriate
section.
