An aerofoil is operating with flow velocity of 100m/s. Aerofoil is symmetric and is at 0° AOA. Determine lift produced by this aerofoil.(a) 10.5 N(b) 0 N(c) 50 N(d) 100NI have been asked this question during an interview.The question is from Airfoil Selection-1 topic in portion Airfoil and Geometry Selection of Aircraft Design

Answer»

Right answer is (b) 0 N

The BEST I can explain: LIFT is an upward FORCE PRODUCED by pressure difference.

Given, velocity V=100m/s, AOA = 0°.

For symmetric airfoil at 0° AOA pressure will be same as upper and lower surface.

Hence, lift = 0N.
