Derive a relationship for wind speed as a function of deflection angle, θ. What thickness of brass should be used to give θ = 30° at 10 m/s?

- The purpose of this problem is to give you a feel for the magnitude ofReynolds number appropriate to real airplanes in actual flight. a. Consider the DC-3 shown in (1.1). The wing root chord length(distance from the front to the back of the wing where the wing joinsthe fuselage) is 14.25 ft. Consider the DC-3 flying at 200 miles perhour at sea level. Calculate the Reynolds number for the flow over thewing root chord. (This is an important number, because as we will seelater, it governs the skin-friction drag over that portion of the wing.)b. Consider the F-22 shown in (1.5), and also gracing the cover ofthis book. The chord length where the wing joins the center body is21.5 ft.
