Aerospace Engineering > GATE 2013 > Thin Airfoil Theory
Circulation theory of lift is assumed for a thin symmetric airfoil at an angle of attack α. Free stream velocity is U.
If the circulation at the quarter chord (c/4) of the airfoil is Γ1 the normal velocity is zero at
A
c/4
B
c/2
C
3c/4
D
all points on the chord

Correct : b
