Hi all,
just received London MET entry exam that contains 100 fairly simple questions, however one made mi think:
Given that, in general, top of the surface of the wing is responsible for the creation of most of the lift, what type of aerofoil would given the greatest lift characteristic? :confused:
a) low wing
b) mid wing
c) high wing
d) low or mid wing
taking in account first part of the question I would say C
(centre part of the wing aboufe fuselage is not disturbed by fuselage itself, therefore increasing top surface.
Also most VSTOL AC are high wing (Piper Cub, Maule, Twin Otter)
What do you think?
cheers FrankO
