DESCRIPTION: Wing design is a large topic, and we have covered only a few basic ideas here. Much of what we understand about wing design comes from a theory developed by Ludwig Prandtl called Lifting-Line Theory. We can all thank our lucky stars that CFD was not invented a century ago. If the computer had been invented and used for computational fluid dynamics at the same time as the first successful flights of powered aircraft, we would likely have missed out on many fundamental theories that have shaped our understanding of aircraft design. Luckily, early aerodynamicists did not have access to a computer and therefore had to manipulate the governing equations of fluid motion (the Navier-Stokes and Euler Equations) to estimate aerodynamic properties such as lift and drag. Through their manipulations and ingenuity, they discovered key concepts that have shaped our aircraft for the past century. Had we started first with CFD, we may never have discovered these basic relationships that are...
