Question

Is additional term can be added to make an aircraft wing station?

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me during an interview.

This is a very interesting question from Prandtl’s Classical Lifting-Line Theory in portion Flow over Airfoils over Finite Wing of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

Easiest explanation: When the aircraft is rolling, an additional term can be added that adds the wing station distance multiplied by the rate of roll to give an additional angle of attack change, which introduces non-zero even coefficient in the equation that must be an accounted for it.
