values, when the profile drag and other fundamental characteristics of where x and z are distances measured from the origin the airfoil section are taken into account, by means of to the aerodynamic center of the airfoil section (see simple formulas involving parameters given for each table I and… … approximately correct for wings with well-rounded Figure 1.—Airplane drawing and balance diagram. tips. For such wings, the additional lift distribution is Thus far the origin has been arbitrarily chosen. If, given as a function of the plan form and aspect ratio with this arbitrarily chosen origin,…
