Estimate the coefficient of skin-friction drag

Reference no: EM131515310

Question: The top surface of a light-aircraft wing traveling at an air speed of 55 m/s is assumed to be equivalent to a flat plate of length 2 m. Laminar-turbulent transition is known to occur at a distance of 0.75 m from the leading edge. Given that the kinematic viscosity of air is 15 × 10^-6 m²/s, estimate the coefficient of skin-friction drag.
