Default RE: semi semitrical wing chariteristics


ORIGINAL: tewitt1949
The incidence really didn't change from the flat wing.
But, it did!

Compare these two views of the same semi-symmetrical airfoil (2414):

The top view shows how the ribs sit on the building board when constructing the wing (in this case a Sure Shark).

The bottom view shows the actual incidence of the airfoil/wing when attached to the fuselage.

Look at the difference in the angles of the dashed lines.
