Test an airfoil.
Test should be conducted in a wind tunnel and should include documenting predicted and observed values for
- coefficient of lift
- coefficient of drag
- altering factors
- angle of attack.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What role does the size and shape of the wind tunnel play in determining design specifications?
- What are the methods for testing airfoils?
- How does air foil shape affect performance?
- How might changing the camber of a wing affect performance?
