Find location of aerodynamic centre from leading edge if, chord is 10m and airfoil has flow velocity of 0.2 M.(a) 2.5 m(b) 0.2 m(c) 5 m(d) 10 mThe question was posed to me during an online exam.My question comes from Airfoil Selection-1 in chapter Airfoil and Geometry Selection of Aircraft Design

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (a) 2.5 m

Best explanation: Given, VELOCITY = 0.2M = 0.2*340 = 68m/s

CHORD = 10m

Given velocity is less than the sonic speed.

Hence, location of aerodynamic center is = 25% of chord = 0.25*10 = 2.5m from leading edge.
