Is a 50% increase in the ratio of lift to drag at a lift coefficient?(a) True(b) FalseThis question was posed to me in homework.This intriguing question originated from Modern Low Speed Airfoils topic in portion Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Right choice is (a) True

To EXPLAIN: A 50 percent increase in the ratio of lift to drag at a lift coefficient of 0.1. This value of q=0.1 is typical of the climb lift coefficient for general AVIATION aircraft, and a high value of L/D GREATLY IMPROVES the climb.
