FORCES ON THE WING

The vertical velocity of the wing section distant у from the center fine is

z = h(y)zT (7.13,2)

and the corresponding change in wing angle of attack is

A«(») = Цу)&тІГ (7.13,3)

This angle-of-attack distribution can be used with any applicable steady-flow wing theory to calculate the incremental local section lift. (It will of course be proportional to z^/F.) Let it be denoted in coefficient form by C’l(y)zT/V, and the corresponding increment in wing total lift coefficient by Cxio^y/F. G’t(y) and C’Lw are thus the values corresponding to unit value of the non­dimensional quantity zr/F.

FORCE ON THE TAIL

The tail experiences a downward velocity h(0)zT, and also, because of the altered wing lift distribution, a downwash change (dejdzT)zT. Hence the net change in tail angle of attack is

Aoq = h(0)zTIV—————— — zT

This derivative describes the contribution of wing bending velocity to the lift acting on the airplane. A suitable nondimensional form is dCLjd(zTjV):

This derivative (see 5.12,12) represents the contribution to the generalized force in the bending degree of freedom, associated with a change in the angle of attack of the airplane. A suitable nondimensional form is obtained by defining

Then the appropriate nondimensional derivative is.

Let the wing lift distribution due to a perturbation oc in the angle of attack (constant across the span) be given by Сг^(у)а. Then in a virtual displacement in the wing bending mode bzT, the work done by this wing loading is

This derivative identifies the contribution of zT to the generalized aero­dynamic force in the distortion degree of freedom. We have defined the associated wing load distribution above by the local lift coefficient С[(у)гт1У. As in the case of the derivative An above, the work done by this loading is calculated, with the result that the wing contributes
