ATPL Principles of Flight - Class 6: Wing Design.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Class 6 in the ATPL Principles of Flight series.

The way a wing is designed is based off trying to find the perfect balance between correct lift with minimal drag. There are other choices to be made depending on the type of flying intended such as gliding or in fast jets.

In this class we will look at the reasons for some of these choices and also the basic components of a wing used by designers to describe the shape.

Hi. Your videos are very helpful but could you pls set volume of background music a little lower? It would be easier to listen your narration this way.

Quite confused here. When looking at the rectangular wing, there is clearly a higher amount of lift being produced at the root of the wing (as you can see from the lift distribution), but you are saying we have strong wing tip vortices because we have more downwash at the tips...

However with the swept + tapered wing, from the lift distribution, there is much lower lift at the root than the tip, but you are saying downwash is greatest at the root? Why is this? Looking at the lift distribution, there is much greater lift at the tips, which should equal greater downwash at the tips too, no?

at 11:45 for rectangular wing, you said there'a still a large amount of lift produced at the tips, but your graph shows CL gradually goes to 0 at wingtip... why?

What a stupid idea with a background music!!!

Thanks for making these videos public! Is the area thats derived by multiplying span and chord length the same area that used to calculate the lift as the S in the formula?

Thank you these are great really clear videos

I'm a new student is very beneficial

The music makes me sleepy 😅, I can’t concentrate

[lucacagnazzi]

do you mind if I ask : is Delta wing intentionally omitted, is it going to be explained later on?

thanks a lot by the way, your videos are really helpful, you really managed to explain complicated topics in a very effective manner.
