The Cessna Cardinal, a single- engine light plane, has a wing with an area of 16.2 m² and an aspect ratio of 7.31. Assume that the span efficiency factor is 0.72. If the airplane is flying at standard sea-level conditions with a velocity of 230 km/h, what is the induced drag when the total weight is 9800 N? When a symmetrical airfoil section (i.e. an infinite span wing) is at an angle of attack of 4 degrees, the lift coefficient is 1. Calculate the angle of attack at which a wing whose wing span of 35.8 ft. and wing area of 174 ft² would have to operate in order to generate the same lift coefficient. Assume this wing generates an elliptical lift distribution. The Cessna Cardinal, a single- engine light plane, has a wing with an area of 16.2 m² and an aspect ratio of 7.31.
