Airfoil Simulation
Description
Airfoils have a complex geometry designed to direct airflow. This velocity change results forces that affect aircraft performance. This can be simulated using a computer to provide an estimate of expected performance.
Conclusion Questions
1. The wing shape and size impact the Cl and Cd.
2. The wings of an airplane have to be the correct size and shape because they have to fly through the wind and have enough drag to keep them in the sky.
