Figure 1: Air flow around symmetrical airfoils, (a) at zero angles of attack and (b) at
a large angle of attack
b) For aircraft, the minimum takeoff velocity can be determined from the requirement that
the total weight (Wi) of the aircraft be equal to lift force. Suggest and discuss two
solutions that can be applied to minimise the required takeoff velocity.
