Required Information
The alrfoll section of the wing of the British Spitfire of World War II fame is an NACA 2213 at the wing root, tapering to an NACA 2205 at the wing tip. The root chord is 8.33 ft . The measured profile drag coefficient of the NACA 2213 airfoll is 0.006 at a Reynolds number of \(9\times 10^{6}\). Consider the Spitfire crulsing at an altitude of \(17,000\mathrm{ft}\). Assume that \(\mu \) varies as the square root of temperature.
At this velocity and altitude, assuming completely turbulent flow, estimate the skin-friction drag coefficient for the NACA 2213 airfoll, and compare this with the total profile drag coefficient. Calculate the percentage of the profile drag coefficient that is due to pressure drag. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
The skin-friction drag coefficient for the NACA 2213 alrfoll is
