18、s of tapered wings are presented. Theoreticxd Jactorsare given from which the following eharacteristics oftapered wings may be jound: The span lift distribution,the induced-angle-of-attack distribution, the llft-curveslope, the angle of zero lift, the induced drag, the aero-dynamic-center position,

19、and the pitching moment aboutthe aerodynamic center.The wings considered cover the complete range of taperratios and a range of aspect ratias from _ to 20. Thefactors given include the effects of sweepback and tudstand apply to Wings having a straight taper plan form withrounded tips and an elliptic

20、al plan form. The generalformulas of the usual wing theory are also given fromwhich the characteristics of a wing of any form may beex_ulx_ed when the section characteristics are knownfrom experiment.In addition tp the tables and charts, test results aregiven for nine tapered wings, including wings

21、with sweep-back and twist. The test results verify the values com-puted by the methods presented in the first part of thereport. A final section is given outlining a method forestimating the lift coe_isnt at which a tapered wingbegins to stall. This method, which should be useful forestimating the m

22、aximum lift coel_cient of tapered wings,is applied to one of the wings tested.INTRODUCTIONA large amount of work has been done on the deter-mination of tapered-wing characteristics from airfoiltheory. Glauert has given some of the characteristicsof wings with straight taper for a limited range ofasp

23、ect ratios (references 1 and 2). Hueber has givenother characteristics of wings with straight taper for alarge range of aspect ratios (reference 3). Severalother papers have given various characteristics oftapered wings. The data of all the papers, however,kave been limited by one or more of the fol

24、lowingfactors: Range of aspect ratio and taper ratio, numberof characteristics given, and omission of data on wingswith sweepback and twist. In order to provide morecomplete information, data are given in this report fora large range of aspect ratios, for the complete rangeof taper ratios, and for w

25、ings with sweepback and twist.As airplane wings are usually rounded at the tips, thedata are given for wings with rounded tips.In addition to the theoretical characteristics, theresults of tests of nine tapered wings, including wingswith sweepback and twist, and a comparison of someof the test resul

26、ts With theoretical values are presented.The characteristics are given for wings having astraight taper and rounded tips and for wings havingan elliptical plan form, with an aspect-ratio range from2 to 20. For these wings, formulas are given usingfactors that are presented in tables and charts. From

27、the formulas and factors the following characteristicsof tapered wings may be determined: Span lift distri-bution, induced-angle-of-attack distribution , lift-curve “slope, angle of zero lift, induced drag, aerodynamic-center position, and pitching moment about the aero-dynamic center.METHOD OF OBTA

28、INING DATABASIC CONCEPTSWhen obtaining the data used to determine the char-acteristics of wings, a tapered wing is considered to con-sist of a series of airfoil sections that may vary in shape,chord length, and in angle of attack from root to tip.Each airfoil section is assumed to have an aerodynami

29、ccenter through which the lift and drag act and aboutwhich the pitching moment is constant.With the section characteristics as a basis, character-istics of the entire wing are obtained by integrationacross the span. Formulas for the integrations wilIfirst be given for a wing of any shape and zero di

30、hedral;that is, the aerodynamic centers of all the sections alongthe span lie in a plane which passes through the rootchord and which is perpendicular to the plane of sym-metry. Wings of particular shape will be consideredlater and a method for including the effect of dihedralwill be given.For any t

31、apered wing the span lift distribution maybe considered to consist of two parts. One part, whichwill be called the “basic distribution,“ is the distribu-tion that dends principally on the twist of the wingand occurs when the total lift of the wing is zero; itdoes not change with the angle of attack

32、of the wing.1Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-2 REPORTNATIONALADVISORYThe secondpart of the span lift distribution, whichwill be called the “additional distribution,“ is the liftdue to change of the wing angle of attack; it is inde-pen

33、dent of the wing twist and maintains the same formthroughout the reasonably straight part of the lift curve.In the designation of the characteristics of a wing,lower-case letters will be used for section characteris-tics and upper-case letters for the characteristics of theentire wing. The basic and

34、 additional section lift coef-ficients are then c_ and c_o. A complete list of sym-bols follows. It is convenient to find the additionallift coefficient for a wing CLof 1 and it isthen designatedc_o_. The two coefficients are related by C_=CLc_Q_.The total lift coefficient at any section is found fr
