Wing Shapes
Elliptical
Twist
Taper
Sweep
Hard to build; unless use foam
Time consuming to build
Wing Shapes
Aspect Ratio Sizing
High AR decreases Cdi
High AR produces small chord length at given area
Small chord produces small thickness
Building concerns
Structure concerns
Wing Selection
Use a rectangular wing
with no twist, taper or
sweep
Easy to build
Taper, sweep, and twist
effects will most likely not
be worth the difficulty of
manufacturing
Easy Manufacturing
Easy Analysis (Drag & Lift)
Easy Modeling (Controls & Feedback)
