How to design a new wing (apols if OT)
Once in a while one comes across a wing that seems so bad that anyone could improve upon it.
There is a massive NACA database of aerofoil (airfoil if googling in US) sections and NASA has more tucked away somewhere.
It should be possible to start with:
MTOW
Intended cruising speed
Engine power
Take off, landing, stall speeds
Wing loading, wing span
No. of seats
Maybe more criteria
and, as if by magic, get referred to a suitable aerofoil section.
I have tried writing to my old professor, a junior reader, NASA department of s/w assistance, and all have thrown my approaches into the ether.
Does anyone have any ideas?
