Main body design
So the wing is now designed from the NACA 0016 airfoil but there one problem , how do we know that we are getting the require drag and lift ?? , the answer is simple just put your airfoil model into simscale and use C(D) vs C(L) graph from your cfd post process result , okay now we have our data after 10 Mins of simulation , but oh its is newtons… now we will use the equation that every engineers use this formula
Force(Newtons) = C(D) * 1/2 * p * V^2 * A
Notations
- C(D) = coefficient of drag
- p = density of air
- V = velocity
-A = area
so after some mind soaring calculations you get 24.82 Grams of drag per wing yeppe , congratulations ! you have successfully got a low drag and zero lift wing !!
apart from all of this accurate and precise modeling is done for low error model , just joining the wings to the core testing a locking mechanism making few adjustments in models and making the model aerodynamic
that’s it for this devlog folks nothing more !
