1. Consider a thin airfoil with mean camber line given by the equation z = 4h[(x/c) (x/c)2].
Find the zero lift angle, pitching moment coefficient about aerodynamic centre, location
of centre of pressure, and optimum lift coefficient. [3+6+3+2]
2. Show that equipotential lines are orthonormal to streamlines. [4]
3. Given = msin/r, find the value of . [4]
4. What is Kutta-Joukowski transformation? What is it used for? What is its limitation? [3]
