Lecture 07: Numericals
Hello friends, welcome back. In our previous lecture we discussed about static stability.
We started with stability and then we continued to longitudinal static stability and we derived
the conditions for an aircraft to be statically, to possess longitudinal static stability.
It has to satisfy the conditions that C m alpha has to be less than 0 and C m naught
has to be greater than 0. So before we proceed to look at the contribution from various components
of this, of the UAV towards the static stability, let us solve few example problems where you
will be able to find out aerodynamic center of various configurations.
Why we are doing this exercise is, so we will be considering aerodynamic center as one of
the reference points in this entire calculation. So that will be handy, once we solve this
particular problems, say about 2 to 3 problems that we are going to solve, that will help
you to figure out how to find out aerodynamic center for various configurations.
So once we find the aerodynamic center, then we will be able to talk about the stability
of the system with respect to the CG or what will be the relative position between CG and
the aerodynamic center of various components of the, of UAV, right, that helps the system
to be stable.
So let us take up the first example problem. The aerodynamic center of a, of a wing, which
is a flat plate with root chord of 1 meter, 0 type of ratio and, and with semi-span of
0.5 meters, right. So this is the question. We were asked to find out the aerodynamic
center, also find, let us add some more non-dimensional parameters, also find wing aspect ratio and
also the aspect ratio, yes, okay. So we are asked to find the aerodynamic center of this
flat plate and we were told that this flat plate has a root chord of 1 meter and taper
ratio is 0 and we were also given the information about, it is tapered about, the wing is tapered
about, yes, yes, the taper ratio is 0 and add this one as well.
So the taper axis, taper axis is mid chord. So the taper axis is also given, right. So
it is tapered about mid chord. What do you mean by tapered about mid chord? So let us
consider a wing, a tapered wing. Now if you consider any span-wise location, you have
corresponding chord at that particular span-wise location, right. Say this is my span-wise
location and say this is my corresponding chord at that particular span-wise location.
So now if you consider C by 2 of this, right, if you locate C by 2 and also at any other
span-wise location locate C by 2, so all this C by 2s will lie in a particular straight
line, right, lie on a particular straight line here. So this is the definition of taper
axis, right. So now according to this question, so it is a flat plate configuration, the wing
is a flat plate. So from the question we can tentatively get some rough idea about the
wing plan form here. So we have root chord which is about 1 meter and the taper axis
is, so that is 0.5 meters. Am I correct or not? Say if this is my root chord which is
1 meter and the midpoint should be 0.5, right. So and I was given the information about semi-span,
right. So one side of the wing is about 0.5 meters. Let us say this is my 0.5 meters,
right. So we can, so root chord is a mirror image of this, like it is a plane of symmetry,
is not it? So let us say this is the other half of the wing which is again 0.5 meters
and 0 taper ratio. What do you mean by that? Ct upon Cr which implies Ct is 0, right. So
we have point at tip. At 0.5 meters we have a point and then now joining this will give
us a wing plan form, right. So let me redraw it a bit better, yeah. So more or less it
looks like this is 1 meter and this is 1 meter, right. So what we have is the total
span as 1 meter here and then the root chord is also 1 meter, 1 meter. Cr is equals to
1 meter, Ct is 0 and then the taper axis, so up to this point it is 0.5 meters. This
is 5 meters or Cr by 2. This is your Cr which is 1 meter, this is Cr by 2. Now we need to
find out the mean aerodynamic chord, right. So let us say this is, if this is my mean
aerodynamic chord C bar, so we know how to find the aerodynamic center. First we need
to find out what is the corresponding mean aerodynamic chord here, right. So once you
find this mean aerodynamic chord, let us project this mean aerodynamic chord onto the root
chord. So this will be my projection of mean aerodynamic chord on the root chord and one-fourth
of this because we are talking about a lower subsonic speed UAV, so one-fourth of this
C bar is generally considered as aerodynamic centers here, right.
So let us say this is my corresponding C by 4 of this C bar, right, so and this will be
my aerodynamic center, right. So let this be denoted by XAC, right. So this is measured
with respect to leading edge of the root chord, right. Let us say this is my X aerodynamic
center, fine. Now how can I find this X aerodynamic center? So X aerodynamic center is equals
to, so this I know CR by 2 because it is tapered about, yeah, tapered about mid chord, right.
So what I can, what I know is this particular distance which is CR by 2, so CR by 2, so
minus, see this mean aerodynamic chord is also tapered about the same axis, right. So
when you project this C bar on to the root chord, so the axis, the taper axis will still
remain same and this particular distance will be C bar by 2, right, is not it? This particular
distance will be C bar by 2. So if I subtract this particular C bar by 2 from the CR, what
I have is this particular distance, right, so minus C bar by 2, right.
So I know what is this, so from that particular expression I will be able to find out what
is this particular distance. Now I need to add this distance, right, in order to find
out, so I know what is the leading edge of this C bar right now, right. From this expression
I have arrived at leading edge of this C bar and then C bar by 4 from there is my aerodynamic
center, right, plus C bar by 4. So this equals to CR by 2 minus C bar by 4, okay. What is
C bar by, CR by 2, which is 0.5 meters, right, CR by 2 is 0.5 meters minus 0.25 of C bar.
So I will be able to find out this location of aerodynamic center given C bar here. So
how should I find C bar? So C bar is equals to, C bar is equals to 2 by 3 CR times 1 plus
lambda, lambda square upon 1 plus lambda that is equals to 2 by 3, okay, CR is 1 meter times,
so lambda is 0, this will be 1 upon 1, this is simply 2 by 3, which is 0.667 meters, right.
C bar is nothing but two-third of the root chord for a complete tapered beam, right.
So it is tapered till the tip, right, so for a complete, and the tip is a point here. So
for a complete tapered beam, what we have is two-third of CR, whereas lambda is 0 in
this particular case. So I know what is CR, if I substitute C bar, if I substitute C bar
in this equation, what I am going to get? XAC is equals to 0.5 minus 0.25 times 0.667
is equals to, that is approximately 0.333, right. So this is the C bar, this XAC is approximately
33 centimeters or 0.3 meters or 33 centimeters from the leading edge of the root chord.
So if you measure 33 centimeters from here with a scale, you will be able to find out
the corresponding aerodynamic center here, right. And let us also complete the rest of
this question. Let us find the aspect ratio here. So aspect ratio of this wing is B square
upon S. So what is B here? Half a meter plus half a meter is 1 meter, 1 upon the total
area of this particular planform is, what is the area of this planform? So S is equals
to twice half base into height, right. It is a triangle and twice the area of, and you
have a mirror image this side as well, so twice the area of this particular triangle.
So what you have is one time, so this is like, why because area of this particular triangle
is B by 2 times H here, right, half B by 2 times H. So B by 2 will, should come in, come
into the picture which is 0.5 meter square, right. So now this is 0.5 meter square which
is equals to 2, right. So this particular wing has a very low aspect ratio which is
2. So let us move on to the second question, okay. Is it clear? So we have, we have to
find the aerodynamic center of the wing given the root chord, taper axis and the span here.
So semi-span was given, so we can figure out span easily. So we have root chord, taper
axis which is C by 2 or mid chord at each and every location. So if you find midpoints
of chords at each and every y location, span wise location, so they all lie in a same straight
line, right, lie on a same straight line and then from there, from this data you can figure
out that C bar as 0.6, 0.667 which is approximately 67 centimeters, right. So this is 67 centimeters
and this is 1 meter, right. When you project this C bar onto the root
chord and C by 4 of this C bar will be, or C bar by 4, one-fourth of this C bar will
be the corresponding aerodynamic center. So from this particular relation that aerodynamic
center can be figured out once we know what is the corresponding aerodynamic center,
sorry mean aerodynamic chord. Let us move on to the second question.
So let us solve a similar question to find out what is the aerodynamic center and the
mean aerodynamic chord, right, of a delta wing configuration. So find the aerodynamic
center and aspect ratio of a delta wing configuration with the root chord of n meters and tip chord
of 0.15 meters with a span 1.75 meters. So this is what we have. So we were asked to
find the mean aerodynamic center, location of aerodynamic center, mean aerodynamic chord,
yeah of course to find out aerodynamic center we need mean aerodynamic chord, and the aspect
ratio of a delta wing, right. So as soon as we remember about delta wing, so we can imagine
a triangle, right, is not it. So for a pure delta wing there will not be any tip chord,
taper ratio will be 0. But here we were given certain tip chord,
right. So we have the information about this root chord and tip chord. So the tip chord
is 0.15 meters and the root chord is 0.9 meters, right, CR and CT. So this is 0.75 meters,
right, also find leading edge sweep. So this is how the geometry of a delta wing, yeah,
it is more or less symmetric. Assume that this is symmetric, right, and you are given
the span of this configuration which is 1.5 meters. So we have root chord, tip chord and
1.5 meters. And we know delta wing is tapered about, the taper axis of delta wing is trailing
edge, right. So at each and every span wise location, if you look at the chord, right,
so all the tips, trailing edges of this, of this chords, right, will lie on a same straight
line here, right. So this is on either side, right. At each and every span wise location
the trailing edge of the chord will lie on the same straight line here, okay. I am sorry,
please make a correction here. It is 1.75 meters, right. Thank you, Praveen, yeah.
So first thing I need to find out is again the same procedure. Let us figure out where
is this mean aerodynamic chord, right. So what is this C bar? Also find, we will add
some more part to this question, leading edge as well as YMAC. See, it is location,
span wise location of mean aerodynamic chord, right. So this is your C bar. So for this,
it is bit simpler to find out the aerodynamic center. Why? Because we know the trailing
edge is same here, right, is not it. So when we project this, we have C bar on the root
chord. So XAC, aerodynamic center will be definitely C bar by 4, right. So this particular
distance is C bar upon 4, right, if this is my AC, aerodynamic center. So this total distance
will be sum of CR minus C bar. See, this is the total CR root chord minus this mean aerodynamic
chord. What we have is this particular portion, right, added by C bar by 4. What you get is
a distance location of this aerodynamic center with respect to the leading edge of the root
chord. So again, what we have is X aerodynamic center, which is equals to, this is, say this
is XAC, right. So this particular portion from the leading edge of the root chord till
the leading edge of the mean aerodynamic chord. So how do you get? Since the root chords,
tip chords lie on the same straight line, CR minus C, C bar, right, is this particular
distance, CR minus C bar, and plus C bar by 4. So that is this additional portion, which
is the, C bar by 4 is the aerodynamic center, location of aerodynamic center for this configuration.
And with respect to root chord, we need to, like leading edge of the root chord, we need
to add the portion, right, which is in between the leading edge of the root chord and the
leading edge of the mean aerodynamic chord. So we need to find out CR minus 3CR by 4,
right. So which is, what is CR? We know 0.9 meters minus 3 by 4 of C bar. So again, we
need to find what is C bar, right. C bar is 2 3rd of CR times 1 plus lambda plus lambda
square upon 1 plus lambda. What we have is 2 3rd, CR is 0.9. So in order to find this,
we need to know what is lambda here, right, isn't it? So how do you find lambda? So we
know CT is equals to 0.15, we have CR is 0.9, so lambda is straight forward CT upon CR,
which is 0.15 over 0.9, which is approximately 1.66, 0.166, yeah, that is taper ratio.
So if I substitute that, it is 1.1667 plus 0.1667 square upon 1.1667. So if you solve
this, so this is equals to 0.614 meters, okay. This is a mean aerodynamic chord. So this
particular length of this mean aerodynamic chord is 0.614 meters, okay, where the root
chord is 0.9 meters. So since we have root chord and we also know what is the mean aerodynamic
chord now, so we will be able to calculate what is the corresponding XAC with respect
to the leading edge of root chord here, right. So see, there is a reason for me to repeat
this leading edge of root chord repeatedly, right. So later when we talk about stability,
right, so this concept will be useful. So X aerodynamic center is equals to 0.9 minus
3 by 4 multiplied by three-fourth of 0.614 meters. So this is approximately 0.44 meters,
right. So this is approximately 44 centimeters from the leading edge. So this is approximately
44 centimeters. So this particular distance is 44 centimeters from the leading edge of
the root chord, right. So we have now figured out what is the location of aerodynamic center
with respect to leading edge of root chord. Now we have to proceed to figure out what
is the aspect ratio here. So the aspect ratio is V square upon S. So V here is 1.75 square
upon S. What is S? So what is the area of this particular delta V? So we can consider
this as a trapezium, right. Am I correct? So height times the average of these two perpendicular
distance, right. Am I correct or not? So this is B by 2 times C R plus C T by 2, that
is B by 4 multiplied by C R plus C T. So we have to consider twice of that. It becomes
B by 2 C R plus C T, right. So S is equals to, so S where S is equals to B by 2 multiplied
by C R plus C T. This equals to 1.75 upon 2 and C R plus C T. Average of R, you can
say this is average of root and tip chords, right. So this is 0.15. So now the area turns
out to be 0.9, approximately 0.9 meter square, 918 meter square. So aspect ratio is 1.75
square upon 0.918, which is close to 3.2, 3.23, yeah, sorry, 3.33. So that is close
to 3.33, right. That is the aspect ratio of this wing. And then Y MAC is B by 6, which
is 1.75 upon 6 multiplied by 1 plus 2 times lambda is 0.167 upon 1.167. So this is equals
to 0.333, right. So close to 33 centimeter. So if you move 33 centimeters from here, you
will be able to find out the corresponding mean aerodynamic chord on either sides. So
if you move 33 centimeters, right, 333 meters, then you will be able to figure out the corresponding
location of, span-wise location of this aerodynamic center.
So what will be the leading edge angle? Can you solve this? So let us say leading edge.
Let us say this is the leading edge angle, right. So how can we find? We know this distance,
right, which is close to this. So if you know this particular value, you will be able to
figure out what is this leading edge angle, right. So what is that leading edge angle?
Tan over leading edge angle is equals to this particular CR minus CT upon B by 2. What is
the value of CR? It is 0.9 minus 1.5. It is 0.75 upon B by 2 is 0.8. This is 0.857.
So leading edge angle is close to 40 degrees, right. That is close to 40 degrees. So this
particular angle is close to 40 degrees, right. So this is how we solved. We were given a
delta wing and we need to figure out what is the corresponding aerodynamic center.
We have a root chord. We have the information about root chord which is 0.9 meters and the
tip chord which is 0.15 meters and the span of the configuration is 1.75 meters, right.
So based upon this information, we figured out what is the corresponding mean aerodynamic
chord which turned out to be approximately 61 centimeters, right. So since it is a delta
wing, it is tapered about trailing edge. We can project this particular C bar onto
the root chord and can easily figure out what is the corresponding aerodynamic center by
just adding the distance between the leading edge of the root chord and leading edge of
the mean aerodynamic chord and then one-fourth of this mean aerodynamic chord, right.
So by adding that, we will be able to figure out, yeah, we have figured out what is the
mean aerodynamic chord and as well as, yeah, aerodynamic center. So once we figured out
this location of aerodynamic center, we then proceeded to find the aspect ratio which turned
out to be 3.33, right, for this particular configuration and then the leading edge angle
was figured out to be 40 degrees here, right. So you can simply calculate the YMAC by using
the standard expression that we have arrived at, so which is b by 2 upon, b by 6 multiplied
by 1 plus lambda plus lambda square, 1 plus, sorry, 1 plus 2 lambda upon 1 plus lambda.
So by using this, we will be able to, we figured out that span-wise location of this mean aerodynamic
chord is about 33 centimeters from the root, okay.
So we will solve another example problem for this to find the aerodynamic center. So let
us complicate this a bit further. Let us take another example problem where we have a wing
with multiple sections, right. So the wing planform can be something like this, right.
So we have a rectangular planform and then the tapered planform as well. So in that
case, how do we find out the mean aerodynamic? So in this particular case, so what can you
notice? So the taper is about, so we have a rectangular section here, so we are not
much worried about the mean aerodynamic chord or the taper axis. Of course, there is no
taper here, right, but for this particular portion, what can you infer?
So see the trailing edge of this rectangular wing as well as the second portion which is
here are same, right, are on the straight line. That means we can assume that this particular
taper of this wing is about this, yeah, wing portion is about the trailing edge here, right.
So we will consider a similar problem, but not exactly this, the same what we are seeing
here. Consider the following wing planform and find aerodynamic center, yeah, find aerodynamic
center, that's good enough, all right. So this is what the planform is. We have a rectangular
portion of this wing in the center. Let us say this is my FRL, Fuselage Reference Line
that we discussed earlier. So let's consider a rectangular wing, have a rectangular wing
portion in between, followed by it, this is my tapered wing, right, okay. So assume that
this is symmetric, fine. So we have a rectangular portion in between, and the span of this rectangular
portion is 2 meters, is 2 meters, and then the semi-span of this particular portion is
about 1 meter, okay, and we have the information about this root chord.
So this is your CR1, which is 0.6 meters, okay. So we have the information about, this
is 0.6 meters, right, and the leading edge sweep of this is about 4.3 degrees, right.
So do we require any other information here? So we have 4.3 degrees sweep of this, and
you have, and yes, this, so the entire taper, so the taper of this particular portion is
about C by 4. So this taper axis is about quarter chord. So what is quarter chord taper?
So if you consider any section, span-wise section, and the corresponding chord, if you
find the corresponding quarter chord of that particular span-wise section, right, so if
you join all these quarter chords, they will all lie on a same straight line, right. So
that is the definition of this taper about quarter chord. Taper axis is quarter chord,
okay. So how to find the aerodynamic center? So to find the aerodynamic center, first we
need to find out the mean aerodynamic chord, right.
So let us now divide this particular wing as section 1 and section 2. So section 1 is
a rectangular wing. It is a straightforward. I do not have, so for section 1, let us say
for section 1, what is the area? Area of S1 is equals to B into C. It is a rectangular
wing, right. B into CR, I can say. So B is 1 meter times CR is 0.6 meters, which is 0.6
meter square is the area of this first section, right. And what is the lambda of this first
section? CT upon CR1, B1, CR1. Let us say 1 subscript here stands for the section 1,
2 stands for the second section, right. CT1 upon CR1, which are equal, right, because
it is a rectangular wing and we have lambda 1 is, lambda of this first section is 1, right.
And then aspect ratio of this first section is V1 square upon S1. So V1 is 1 meter square
upon 0.6, which is approximately 1.667 is the aspect ratio of this. So what will be
the C bar of first portion? Nothing but 0.6 meters, right. Two thirds here, 1 plus lambda
plus lambda square upon 1 plus lambda and it is a rectangular wing, that is straightforward,
right. So and if you substitute lambda 1, so what
we have is CR directly, C bar is equal to CR, right. So this is 0.6 meters, okay. So
if we say, let us say C bar of section 2 is at a given location, so what will be the mean
aerodynamic chord of this entire configuration? It will be the weighted average of S1 times
C1 bar plus S2 times C2 bar upon S1 plus S2, okay. Am I correct? So it is a weighted
average of S1 C1 plus S2 C2 bar upon S1 plus S2. So if I want to find the mean aerodynamic
chord in the first place, so I need to know what is the corresponding C1 bar and C2 bar.
So we have information about S1 C1, now we need to find out what are this S2 and C2.
So can we find out for section 2? I will just erase this particular portion. So for section
2, what I have is S2 is equal to, so the span here is B2 by 2, right, or say this is
B2. So B2 times CR2 plus CT2 upon 2, right. That is the area of this particular trapezium.
Am I correct or not? So this CR2 is nothing but CR1 here, right. What I need to find is
what is CT2? Do I have that information? What is CT2? How can I find? So we are given information
about the leading edge flip which is 4.3 degrees. So say if I extend this, so we know this axis
is up to here, what we know is CR2 by 4, sorry, CR2 upon 4, right, is not it? It is
a quarter chord point of this particular, yeah, particular chord which is the root chord
of the second section, right. We have the information about it, CR2 upon 4 because CR2
is nothing but CR1 in this case. So because CR1 is equal to CR2 which is equal to, so
now the question is we have these points on the straight line which is the base of this
particular triangle. Am I correct or not? Now let us say how can I get what is CT? I
have this angle, right. So what I can do is this particular distance, so this particular
distance is nothing but CT by 4, CT2 by 4, right. Am I correct or not? So what is this
particular distance? This distance, so from here to here, so this particular distance
is CT upon 2, right. So what is this particular distance? Then it will be, so this is CR2,
so sorry, CT upon 4, this particular distance is CT upon 4, right. This is CR2 by 4 minus
CT upon 4. So this is the corresponding distance. See this overall length has to be same, is
not it, CT by, CR2 by 4, right. So this is also CR2 by 4 but we also know that this wing
is tapered about C by 4, right. So what we have is CT2 by 4 will be this particular distance
and then CR2 minus CT2 by 4 or CR2 by 4 minus CT2 by 4, what you have is the corresponding,
yeah, opposite side of this particular triangle, right.
So CT2, so tan of 4.3 degrees is equals to CR2 minus CT, CT2 upon 4, right, divided by
what is the span here, which is 1 meter, right. So this equals to, CT2 is equals to
CR2 minus 4 tan 4.3 degrees. So this equals to, CT2 is equals to 0.3, so CT2 is equals
to 0.3 meters, right. So CR2 is 0.6 meters and CT2 is 0.3 meters. So what is lambda?
Lambda 2 is equals to CT2 upon CR2, which is 0.3 upon 0.6, which is half, right, that
is 0.5. So we have lambda 2, what we can now find out is what is C bar 2, right, which
is equals to two-third CR2 times 1 plus lambda 2 square, 1 plus lambda 2 plus lambda 2 square
upon 1 plus lambda 2, so this turns out to be 0.467 meters.
So now what we have is C2 and we know what is S2, S2 you can find it from here, right,
which is equals to, so from here we can say S2 is equals to 1. B2 is 1 meter, right, multiplied
by 0.6 plus 0.3 upon 2.45, right, meters square. So S2 is 0.45 meters square. So if you substitute
that what we have is C bar is equals to 0.6 times 0.6 plus 0.45 multiplied by 0.467, right,
upon 1.05. So what you have is C bar is equals to 0.543, 0.543 meters approximately.
So 54 centimeters is the mean aerodynamic chord. So here we have 60 centimeters, so
this mean aerodynamic chord will be somewhere here, right, which is 54 centimeter. So this
is your, this can be C2, yeah, this is your C bar, right. Now you can project this C bar
onto the root chord and find out the corresponding location of aerodynamic center. Is it necessary
to do that? Why because see this is tapered about C by 4. So for a rectangular wing there
is no taper, right, is not it? So if you join C by 4 of this root chord, the C by 4 or any
other CR by 4 or CT by 4 of this rectangular wing should lie on the C by 4 axis here, is
not it? So without even solving this we can tell that the aerodynamic center once you
have that quarter chord taper, the aerodynamic center is nothing but CR1 by 4 at a distance
of, am I correct or not? Even if you solve this that is how it is going to turn out to
be. For example let us solve this, let us solve
this. So first figure out what is, what I say is XAC is nothing but CR1 by 4 which is
0.6 by 4 which is 0.15, right, 0.15 meter. So 15 centimeters from the leading edge of
the root chord is my aerodynamic center, XAC, aerodynamic center of this wing is 15 centimeters
from here. So if you do not believe me then what you can solve it in the conventional way what we
are doing right now. We have the taper axis is C by 4, is not it? So XAC will be like C by 4 of
this, right, taper axis is C by 4. So we say it is C by 4 of this particular mean aerodynamic
chord, right. So our aerodynamic center we project, if you project this aerodynamic,
mean aerodynamic chord onto the root chord, so when we take C, we considered the aerodynamic
center lies at quarter chord of this mean aerodynamic chord. So this is my aerodynamic
center AC, right, which is at C bar by 4, right. What I am now claiming is that is equals to CR1
by 4, that is what I am claiming, right, for this particular case, okay. So now this particular
distance is nothing but this distance plus this distance, is not it? So what is this distance?
CR1 upon 4, right. So this is equals to, this is equals to CR1 upon 4 is this distance minus this
distance will get the distance between the leading edges of root chord of first section
as well as mean aerodynamic chord, right, minus C bar by 4.
So this is again, this distance is nothing but C bar by 4, so you got this distance plus
C bar by 4, right. So that is the mean. So once you subtract this, what you, you arrived
at leading edge of the root chord and then C bar by 4 of, from the leading edge of the
root chord is your aerodynamic center. So this is nothing but CR1 upon 4, so which is
15 meter, 15 centimeters from the leading edge of the root chord of this first section,
right. So what is the aspect ratio of the second section? So aspect ratio of this section
2 is equals to V2 square upon S2, right. What is V2 square here? 1 upon S2 is 0.47.
What is S2? 0.45, right. So what is the aspect ratio? 2.22 is the aspect ratio of this second
section. Now what is the total aspect ratio of this wing? We again can be found out from
this weighted average, AR S1 AR1 plus S2 AR2 upon S1 plus S2. So what is the value? Approximately
1.9, right. So this is the aspect ratio of this entire wing. And again it is also a low
aspect ratio wing, yeah. It is quite evident, right. This is almost 0.6 meter span chord,
right. And it is, yeah, it is spanned over 2 meters. So that itself, so your chord length
is very high here. So the area will be very high for a given span. When the chord length is high,
for a rectangular wing, area will be high, right. So aspect ratio automatically drops, okay.
Okay, then we will, yeah, too many problems. We are now in a comfortable position to figure
out what is the location of this aerodynamic center, right. So we will try to use this concept
when we are dealing with the stability issues, right. How to find out, say, that stability
criteria of, static stability criteria for wing and for wing and tail combination or wing and
canard combination, right, or two wings combination. So how to figure out the aerodynamic
center for such a configuration. And this location of this aerodynamic center is considered as a
reference and the location of CG with respect to that will define the stability criteria,
right, that we are going to see in the coming lectures. Thank you.
