Chapter 4, Problem 25

(choose chapter or problem)

The surface of many airfoils can bedescribed with an equation of the formtc y = 'f C7":0_2[a0....,xl c + a1 (xi c)++ a2(x/ c)2+ a3(x/ c)3+ a4(x/ c)4]where t is the maximum thickness as a fraction of the chord length c (e.g.,tmax = ct ). Given that c = l m and t = 0.2 m, the following values for y havebeen measured for a particular airfoil:x(m) 0.15 0.35 0.5 0.7 0.85y(m) 0.08909 0.09914 0.08823 0.06107 0.03421Determine the constants a0, a1, a2, a3, and a4 (Write a system of five equationsand five unknowns, and use MATLAB to solve the equations.)
