Wing Design

[Sam White]

Hi all,

I am Mech Eng student at Imperial College in London and I have to give a
presentation on wing design and airflow control surfaces. If anyone has any
ideas on sites where I may be able obtain such information, doesn't need to
be to advanced.

Regards

Sam White

....on another note, I am interested in spending some time in North America,
either USA or Canada, after I graduate, where I plan to take flying
training. Could someone adivse me on how I would go about converting an
American licence to Euro. I am aware I may be talking rubbish, so there is
a posibility this question is an absolute bore to most of you and maybe even
quite irritating and so to those people I appologise.

are you looking for "boundary layer control"?

check out some of the glider manufactures about their boundary layer
control...

Aerodynamcis for Naval Aviators (a US book) is a great reference.
Lots and lots of aerodynamic info and descriptions of different NACA
airfoil designs, and advantages/disadvantages of each.

Good Luck with the presentation!
