Description :

Programmed according to these elements in order for us to perfect the aircrafts design by creating a stable and tractable aircraft figure 41 the aircraft is statically stable and cm 0 for 0 aa for 0 aoa cl 0 the plane is flying it is noticed that the lift to drag ratio glide ratio is very satisfactory for. See flight test results for an advanced technology light airplane david l kohlman journal of aircraft vol 16 no 4 april 1979 the importance of induced drag varies over the flight envelope when the airplane is flying at its best lift to drag ratio l d half of the total drag is induced drag. Provides the structural connection for the wings and tail assembly older types of aircraft design utilized an open truss structure constructed of wood steel or aluminum tubing figure 2 5 the most popular types of fuselage structures used in todays aircraft are the monocoque french for single shell and semimonocoque. The sizing of the airplane depends on the objective of the airplane design this can include construction techniques transportation to and from the flying site flight capabilities such as range ability to handle wind runways water grass paved hand launched these are just among the factors that will set the size of the aircraft
