The Effects of Lift Curve Slope and Lift Coefficient on the Wing Cessna 172S

Abstract

The main idea of this paper is to give a profound investigation of the aerodynamic properties of a wing for Cessna 172S. The numerical analysis of total drag is developed by using various methods from different references, the 2D and 3D lift curve parameters of the wing Cessna 172S are generated according to the analysis method depending on empirical equations. The first stage of modelling Cessna 172S is evaluated according to the airfoil of Cessna NACA 2412, whereas the second stage of modelling is estimated by using wing planform properties. The maximum lift coefficient, lift curve slope, zero angle of attack, lift at zero angle of attack, and stall angle of attack are calculated by using different empirical equations.
