The quarter-chord is the center of pressure for a cambered airfoil.(a) False(b) TrueThis question was addressed to me in an online interview.Query is from The Cambered Airfoil topic in portion Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The CORRECT ANSWER is (a) False

Easiest explanation: The coefficient of moment about the quarter-chord is not zero for a CAMBERED airfoil (cm,l/4=\(\frac {\pi }{4}\)(A2-A1)). The center of pressure is the point about which the total moment is zero. Therefore, this STATEMENT is false.
