INTRODUCTION
This Item provides details of a program, called ESDUpac A9315,
for the calculation of the maximum lift coefficient of plain
aerofoils and wings at subsonic speeds. The methods employed are
those given in Item No. 84026 (Derivation 4) for aerofoils and Item
No. 89034 (Derivation 5) for wings. Item No. 84026 requires
aerofoil lift-curve slope from Item No. Aero W.01.01.05 (Derivation
1) and Item No. 89034 requires data for the spanwise location of
wing centre of pressure from Item No. 83040 (Derivation 3).
Section 2 summarises the program and Section 3 describes the
input and output data. The input files appropriate to an aerofoil
or wing calculation are described in tabular form. Section 4 list
the Derivations. Section 5 gives some examples of input and output
using the program, including those given in Item Nos 84026 and
89034. The original Items should be referred to for notation and
applicability and limitations of the methods.
