Question: The wing of airplane is approximately a rectangular shape with a wingspan ( the length perpendicular to the flow direction ) of 1 7 .

The wing of airplane is approximately a rectangular shape with a wingspan (the length perpendicular to the flow direction) of 17.5 m and a chord (the length parallel to the flow direction) of 4 m. The airplane is flying at standard sea level with a velocity of 300 m/s. If the flow is considered to be completely laminar, calculate the boundary layer thickness at the trailing edge and the total skin friction drag. Assume the wing is approximated by a flat plate.
