Aerospace Engineering > GATE 2011 > Lifting Line Theory
Prandtl’s lifting line equation for a general wing is given by where U is the free-stream velocity, α is the angle of attack, y0 is the spanwise location, αL=0(y0) gives the spanwise variation of zero-lift angle, c is the chord, b is the span, and Γ(y0) gives the spanwise variation of circulation.
The rate of change of circulation with angle of attack Γα=∂Γ/∂α is
A
inversely proportional to α
B
independent of α
C
a linear function of α
D
a quadratic function of α

Correct : b
