The lift coefficient for a thin symmetrical airfoil is given by______(a) cl = πα(b) cl = π^2α(c) cl = 2πα(d) cl = πα^2I have been asked this question in an online interview.Asked question is from The Symmetric Airfoil topic in chapter Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer» CORRECT CHOICE is (c) cl = 2πα

For explanation I would say: The lift COEFFICIENT is given by cl=\(\frac {L’}{q_∞S}\) where L’ is the lift per unit span and S = c (1). Now, L’=ΓV∞ρ∞, ACCORDING to the Kutta-Joukowski theorem. Putting Γ=παcV∞ we get cl = 2πα.
