RHODEOF AIRSUMMARYThe results of previous reports dealing with airfoil sec-tion characteristics and span load distribution

19、data arecoordinated into a method for determining the air forcesand their distribution on airplane wings. Formulas aregiven from which the resultant force distribution may becombined to find the wing aerodynamic center and pitchingmoment. The force distribution may also be resolved todetermine the d

20、istribution of chord and beam components.The forces are resolved in such a manner that it is unneces-sary to take the induced drag into account.An illustration of the method is given for a monoplaneand a biplane for the conditions of steady flight and asharp-edge gust. The force determination is com

21、pleted byoutlining a procedure for finding the distribution of loadalong the chord of airfoil sections.INTRODUCTIONThis report originated in a request Of the Bureau ofAir Commerce, Department of Commerce, for a coodinated system of applying airfoil section data to thedetermin_tion of wing forces and

22、 their distribution.The system presented herein yields, within the limi-ta.tions of our present knowledge of aerodynamics, ,_general solution of the resultant wing forces and me-ments and their distribution. For the sake of complete-ness and facility in use, the report contains a table of theimporta

23、nt section parameters for many commonly usedsections and all other necessary data required to solvethe most practical design problems coming within thescope of the system.Although the usefulness of the system extends intoseveral phases of airplane design, its application tostructural design is illus

24、trated by following through awing loading condition corresponding to that specifiedin reference 1.Two basic principles underlie the system employed.First, a force coefficient is treated as the independentvariable, thus eliminating, as far as possible, the angleof attack; and second, the forces are d

25、erived throughoutin terms of certain basic parameters of the airfoil sec-tion, which are tabulated for each airfoil section. Themethod followed then builds up the forces progressivelyfrom simple combinations of certain basic forces andsimple formulas involving the basic airfoil section pa-rameters.

26、As the forces are thus built up, they are re-solved into any convenient components. This methodalso has another important advantage in that the in-duced drag, which is really only a component of the locallift at each section, may be entirely eliminated from theanalysis.In some problems it is desirab

27、le to know the locationof the aerodynamic center of the wing and the pitching-moment coefficient about this center in order to con-struct the balance diagram of the complete airplane.Methods are therefore given for determining these twoproperties. For problems in which the aerodynamiccenter and the

28、pitching moment are not required, a directsolution of the forces and force distribution can bemade.BASIC CONSIDERATIONSThe forces on a wing may be considered to be func-tions of the characteristics of the airfoil sections and ofthe spanwise distribution of lift. At a given sectionlift coefficient, t

29、he resultant air force and moment onthe section are, according to wing theory; assumed to beindependent of all geometric properties of the wingexcept the section shape; moreover, the forces andmoments acting on any individual section may beconsidered to be independent of adjacent sections or ofother

30、 characteristics of the wing, except as they affectthe lift distribution and thus the local lift coefficientat that section.The problem is thus divided into two parts: First,the determination of the spanwise lift distribution;and, second, the determination of the correspondingforces and moments at e

31、ach section and the smnmationof these quantities to obtain the corresponding forcesand moments for the entire wing. The spanwise liftdistribution is obtained in terms of values of the localsection lift coefficient cz0 for a number of sections dis-tributed along the span. The subscript zero is used t

The lower-case lettersused for these coefficients have been chosen to dis-tinguish the lift coefficient

34、e figures, and the tables are grouped inappendix C.For many purposes, it is convenient to express theair forces in terms of components along two axes fixedwith respect to the airplane rather than as the usualcomponents, lift and drag. This resolution is con-veniently accomplished from the Cto values

35、, when theprofile drag and other fundamental characteristics ofthe airfoil section are taken into account, by means ofsimple formulas involving parameters given for eachairfoil section in a table of airfoil characteristics. Thismethod has an important advantage in that the induceddrag, which is real

36、ly only a component of the ct0 ateach section, is entirely eliminated from the analysis.For the purpose of determining the lift distributioncorresponding to the % values along the span, the liftload along the span is considered as being made up oftwo independent parts that will be referred to as the

37、“basic lift distribution“ and the “additional lift dis-tribution.“ The basic lift distribution is representedby the % distribution along the span when the totalwing lift is zero. This basic lift distribution, which isthe distribution arising by virtue of aerodynamic twist,may be considered to exist

38、unaltered as the lift and angleof attack are changed. The additional lift distribution,as the name implies, represents the distribution of addi-tional lift associated with changing the angle of attack.Wing theory indicates that, as long as the airfoil sec-tions of the wing are working within a range

39、 of normallift-curve slope, the form of the additional lift distribu-tion is the same at all lift coefficients and is independentof wing twist, of aileron or flap displacements, and ofother characteristics that affect only the basic lift dis-tribution. Experiment shows that this deduction isapproxim

40、ately correct for wings with well-roundedtips. For such wings, the additional rift distribution isgiven as a function of the plan form and _spect ratioin terms of the additional lift coefficients eZal, that is,the section additionM lift coefficients for a wing liftcoefficient of 1. The lift distribu

41、tion for any wing isthen found in terms of the wing lift coefficient Cs, thebasic lift coefficient css, and the additional lift coeffi-cient cz_,le,o=%+Q, e_,. (1)GENERAL PROCEDUREMONOPLANEIt is advisable first to choose a backward fore-and-aftreference _xis x usually parallel to the reference axis,

42、 orthrust line, of the airplane and an upward z axis per-pendicular to it. (See fig. 1.) Upward and backwardair forces and distances are thus considered positive.Air-force components along these axes are then ex-pressed at each section of the wing bydX=c_ _ c dy (2)and dZ=c_ q c dy (3)where X and Z

43、are the components of air load along theaxes, and Cx and c_ are determined from cz0 and theknown characteristics and attitude of each airfoil sec-tion. The pitching moment about the origin contrib-uted by each section isdM=c,_ q c2 dy+c_ q c z dy-c_ q c x dy (4)where x and z are distances measured f

44、rom the originto the aerodynamic center of the airfoil section (seetable I and appendix B) and the signs of the terms treso taken that stalling moments are positive.,22Sect oncenter- 12Yz_-WFIaUr_E t.-Airplane drawing and balance diagram.Thus far the origin has been arbitrarily chosen. If,with this

45、arbitrarily chosen origin, the coordinates z .and z. of the aerodynamic center of the entire wing(fig. 1) are found, the origin of coordinates may thenbe moved to this point and from equation (4) theremay be determined a value of ll/L,._./fl that has sensiblythe same value for all flight conditions.

46、Aerodynamic center and additional lift distribution.-For the purpose of finding the aerodynamic center ofthe wing, it is necessary to consider only the additionMdistribution. In fact, the aerodynamic center of thewing may be considered as the eentroid of all the addi-tional loads. For wings with lin

47、ear taper and roundedtips, values of L_, giving the load distribution for Cc= 1,may be found from table II for various sections alongthe span. The values of L_ were derived as outlined inreference 2. The corresponding values of cz,_ for varioussections along the span are found from the relationLaSc_
