In this post we look more closely at the shape of the wing airfoil: why this differs from aircraft to aircraft, and how a careful airfoil selection will help to produce the flying characteristics you desire for your airplane.Īfter reading the post on wing area and aspect ratio, you should appreciate that there exists a very clear relationship between the size (weight) of the aircraft and the size of the wing (wing area) required to operate the aircraft as intended. ![]() Specifically we looked at wing area and aspect ratio. In a previous post we looked at the importance of the shape and plan-form of the wing, and how this has a great impact on the flying characteristics of the aircraft. ![]() ![]() This is part 5 in a series of fundamental aircraft design articles that aims to give you an introduction to aircraft design principles.
