Consider an F-15 aircraft flying over KSU campus. The chord length where the wing joins the center body is 301.5 inches. If the wing taper ratio (Chord length at tip/chord length at root) is 0.2265, calculate the Reynolds number at the wing tip while the aircraft is making a high speed pass at a velocity of 1030 ft/s at sea level. (Assume that KSU is at the sea level). Show your work.

Solution

reynolds number = Maximum Velocity * Chord length/kinematic viscosity of fluid

= 1030*12*301.5/(1.46*10 ^-5*39.3701²)
