Consider a jet transport airplane with the following specifications: Lift curve slope for wing-body ∂Cwb/∂αwb = 0.1/deg, Lift curve slope for tail ∂CLt/∂αt = 0.068/deg, Tail area St = 80 m2, Wing area S = 350 m2, Distance between mean aerodynamic centers of tail and wing-body lt = 28 m, Mean aerodynamic chord c̄ = 9 m, Downwash ε = 0.4α, Axial location of the wing-body mean aerodynamic center xac/c̄ = 0.25, Axial location of the center of gravity xcg/c̄ = 0.3. All axial locations are with respect to the leading edge of the root chord and along the body x-axis. Ignore propulsive effects. The pitching-moment-coefficient curve slope (Cmα) is _______ /deg. (round off to three decimal places)
Correct : -0.025 to -0.023
