A wing-body alone configuration airplane with a wing loading of W/S = 1000 N/m2 is flying in cruise condition at a speed V = 90 m/s at sea-level (air density at sea-level ρ∞ = 1.22 kg/m3).
The zero lift pitching moment coefficient of the airplane is Cmacwb = Cm0 = β0.06
and the location of airplane aerodynamic center from the wing leading edge is Xac = 0.25c.
Here c is the chord length.
Distance of center of gravity of the aircraft (XCG) from the wing leading edge is
Distance of center of gravity of the aircraft (XCG) from the wing leading edge is
Correct : c
