Hey guys, I have always wanted to know the difference between propeller and rotor though they are used for similar applications. I never researched on it until now when I had to write it down as one of my assignments. Any answers will be appreciated and also if anybody can refer me to any books...
If you want to find what the airfoil is, i think the best way to go about is to go to this webpage http://www.worldofkrauss.com . Here you can input the thickness of the airfoil wrt to the chord of the wing, which you can easily measure. Also, you can derive the 2D Clmax of the wing and input...
Maybe i was not clear enough, i got this assignment on how to have accurate readings from a measuring cylinder. Now when you are taking readings, the scales in the cylinder are not accurate. Of course it gives precise measurements but accuracy is important. That's why i was wondering if there is...
Thanks all for your interest in this thread.
Another question was for calculations, what AR is to be considered? The AR due to the single span of the total span of the wings?
Also, is there any method to calculate lift due to fuselage? or is it better off neglected?
how much of drag do you think is produced compared to aircraft's total drag if a bump of a size of a tennis ball is created on the lower surface of fuselage?? Assuming aircraft fuselage diameter is tad less than the tennis ball. Does it affect aircraft's lift much, because fuselage don't create...
I should have been more specific. What if the water has to be released only as a stream or any of its other form (e.g. steam) and strictly not to be dropped with any package?
I was wondering how you could turn an RC aircraft out to a water bomber?? I thought of installing a container in the fuselage where water could be filled but can't think of how to get water out. Any suggestions on that or any other ideas of loading the water?
