Question: Question 1 ( 2 parts a , b ) : Two rectangular wings are made for a test in a wind tunnel at 0 angle

Question 1(2 parts a, b):
Two rectangular wings are made for a test in a wind tunnel at 0 angle of attack. One wing has a NACA 0000 cross section, and the other is composed of a NACA 2412. The flow conditions are such that the Reynolds Number per meter (i.e.V) is 1.2106m-1. You may ignore compressibility effects and assume that boundary layer flow transition occurs at a critical Reynolds Number of 500,000.
a. For the two 3D wings, assuming they have the same chord & span, which wing has greater: pressure drag, skin friction drag, & induced drag? Explain your reasoning. (You don't need to calculate anything).
b. ou insert the NACA 2412 wing within a cylindrical fuselage to create an aircraft model such that 10% of the wing area is imbedded within the fuselage. Determine the profile drag coefficient CD,P of the wing of this aircraft if the chord length is 0.2 m . You may consult Fig. 11.3 in your estimation.
