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?
