% Lift and moment coefficients of a thin wing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: CLCMWing( alpha, z ) [cL, cM] = CLCMWing( alpha, z ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ alpha (1,:) Angle of attack (rad) z (1,:) Camber ratio z = 1/8R where R is the radius of curvature ------ Inputs ------ cL (1,:) Lift coefficent cM (1,:) Quarter chord moment coefficient cL0 (1,:) Lift coefficent at zero angle of attack -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: McCormick, B.
