The history of wind tunnel testing the weight of an airplane and holds it in
began in 1871 when Frank H. Wenham the air. Angle of attack is the angle
designed and operated the first wind between the chord line of the wing and
tunnel to test the trunk. The idea of relative wind. By increasing the angle of
airfoil was developed in the late 1800’s attack, lift will increase until it reach at
where H.F. Philips patented a series of certain angle, the lift will loss and a

For the graph of Cp against x/c with a small amount of lift that been
velocity of 15m/s we can see that at the generated because of the airfoil shape.

been symmetric, the lift would be zero Conclusion
