MATLAB For Beginners A Gentle Approach Revised Edition

Low wing aircraft have advantages of easier vehicle access under the wing and lower engine water intake, but have a larger frontal area increasing drag. High wing aircraft have better take-off performance and are lighter, but generate less lift and have higher stall speeds. Different wing shapes provide tradeoffs between aerodynamic efficiency, stability, and ease of construction depending on the aircraft's intended speed and maneuvering needs.
