7.5. Examples 1. Determine the lift distribution and divergence speed for a fixed root rectangular wing of semi-span s, chord _c and torsional rigidity GJ using modified strip theory such that ayAy) = awl — ys"), Evaluate the effect of the modified strip theary. 2. Determine the lift distribution and divergence speed of a fixed root tapered mctangular wing of semi-span s and chord ¢ = co(l — y7fs7) and torsional rigidity G/= GJo(1 — y7Is7). 3. Repeat Examples 1 and 2 but this time for the case wher whole aircraft trim in heave is taken into account, 4. Determine the divergence speed and lift distribution for a rectangular fixed mot wing of semi-span 5, chord ¢, bending rigidity Elo(1 —y°/s") and torsional rigidity GJ for wing sweep A 5. Consider the idealized aireraft of weight Win steady level flight as shown in Figure 7.12. ‘The fuselage is rigid, able to undergo heave and pitch motions, and the wings include flex- ible motion in torsion as in the above examples. The wings and tailplane have symmetric sections, Also, thrust and drag are assumed to he in-line and so do not contribute to the piteh- ingmoment terms. Determine the full equations of motion for this sy tem and find the diver- ‘Figure 7.12 Example 5: Aircraft in steady flight.
