Hi,
Does anyone have an ASW27B polar from flight test data or a set of polar equation values they find useful? Chip F |

Based on these three polar points take off the factory
polar: V(knots) Sink (knots) 58.75 -1.24 84.45 -2.29 114.00 -4.86 I generated the following polar coeffieients: a: -0.000832266 b: 0.078337385 c: -2.973814609 For use in the quadratic polar approximation: Sink = aV^2+bV+c All units are knots. This is based on a takeoff weight of 760 lbs (wing loading of 7.84 lbs/sf). To adjust for different wing loadings, divide the 'a' coefficient by the square root of the wing loading ratio and multiply the 'c' coefficient by the square root of the wing loading ratio. These are the same polar points used by WinPilot. I've found it to be pretty accurate on long final glides. 9B At 15:48 29 February 2004, Chip Fitzpatrick wrote: Hi, Does anyone have an ASW27B polar from flight test data or a set of polar equation values they find useful?
