During their glider tests, the Wright brothers utilised an equation for lift that incorporated Smeaton’s coefficient—a value representing air pressure force—but their gliders underperformed, prompting them to question the accuracy of this coefficient and Lilienthal’s lift data. Through wind tunnel experiments in 1901, they determined that the accepted Smeaton coefficient Weiterlesen…
