Principles of Flight Exam

WOW ... that looks good to me .... but then I know nothing about this subject .... "I learn it from a booook".

The ITW Lecture Notes (in which I found the exam paper) call it "Form" drag rather than Profile drag ... but I won't dock you any marks for that ... unless others feel I should.

There is a second part to the question which is:

"Give reasonable values for:
(a) The Lift / Drag ratio of a wing
(b) The Lift / Drag ratio of a complete aircraft"

..... so over to you

Regards

Pete
