Well.....I liked the long post. Very informative and interesting.
Agreed that there are many factors other than thickness that have big time effects.
I was just curious if anyone noticed or tried 2 wings of different thickness's of materials.
Depending on the flight characteristic you want , thicker may be better. But if you had a decent flying plane with 2mm Depron, but wished it to be a little faster a 1.5mm wing should be faster.
If the wing is undercambered like the AA......faster = more lift. This may be a problem. I guess it all depends on what type of plane it is, how you want your plane to fly and the type of airfoil being used.
Jets on the other hand want to be fast....using an undercamber is against its fast forward flight, unless it weighs a ton and you need the extra lift.
Maybe I posted it in a thread and not to the ToolBox. If so , my bad. I'll send it on to the ToolBox. Surely someone can use the info.
It won't let me upload it! .txt, .pdf......error on file type. Changed it to a .jpg image.
