Question
4. (50 Points) Investigate the flight characteristics of the Cessna Citation aircraft. Given
the wing span dimensional length as well as tapering chord length when either the NACA
2412 or the NASA/Langley 0213 airfoils are used. Evaluate the angle of attack of the
wings attached to the fuselage when at straight and level flight 22,000 feet. Compare
the performance during take off and landing (different angles of attack) in the range of
environments at DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport (i.e. super hot or super cold days). At
what climb rate could the Citation have some concern about reaching stall condition and
lose lift?
Extra Credit: (20 Points) Confirm the scaling of the airfoil lift and drag performance as the
same shapes could be used on larger aircraft like the Embraer E135/145 or Airbus A320.
