I don't. understand. I don't understand! I am doing this exercise for my uni class. It is an engineering exercise so of course it's hard and has minimal information.
Ok, good, great, I know how to deal with those. Now, I need to figure out the maximum load factor, aka, how many gs, the plane could be under, given a 50 fps gust speed or a 66 fps gust speed. How do I know this? Well surely not because it was part of the exercise, I read through the norm for the plane manuver envelope. But that's ok, not too much of a hassle.
I ask my colleagues if I'm doing all right, "Oh, Amelia, why did you find Vb like that?", "The norm says that in case you don't have data on it, you need to find it through x method.", "Oh no, the professor told us to use this other method." WHATEVER I GUESS. But I still do it.
Now I need to find, and I FUCKING QUOTE "The wing lift curve slope CL per radian." and the worst is I know what the slope is. I have calculated it, it's simply the increase of the CL over the increase in angle. I even multiplied it by radian. But it's wrong. It should be around 6~, it comes as around 9! I have double, triple quadruple checked it. THE NUMBERS ARE CORRECT!
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I just fucking guess a number around 6 and use that. Whatever man.
