A SIMPLIFIED EXPRESSION FOR THE DIHEDRAL EFFECT OF A FLEXIBLE WING,

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0604630 | Need Help?

Abstract:

By making two reasonable approximations a variation of sideslip rolling moment coefficient with load factor was obtained for an airplane. The first approximation is to replace the wing normal load factor by the airplane normal load factor the second is to assume the wing deflection mode to be parabolic.
