Introduction of types of airfoil and forces acting on aircraft
In order to build a modern aircraft to fly a great distance effectively to fulfill people’s demands, aircraft engineers must consider various things such as aircraft’s wing airfoils and forces acting on aircrafts. There are many types of airfoils that can be applied for different right situations for specific purpose. Also, there are four major forces such as thrust, drag, lift, and weight acting on an aircraft. By showing each types of airfoils, I will indicate what are the meanings of the numbers and in what cases the airfoils are being used. Moreover, I will show what are the concepts of the four primary forces acting on an aircraft.
The types of the airfoils are various. The most basic kind of an airfoil is NACA four digit wing series. NACA four digit wing series’ striking feature is that the location of the maximum camber is 40 percent behind of the chord line. By using NACA 2 4 15, let me show you how to read and understand the information that this wing has. The first digit represents the maximum camber size. Since 2 is the first digit, it can be understood that the maximum camber size is 2 percent of the chord line. The second digit is the location of the maximum camber size.
