Abstract

The development of the wing has been always such that it should be able to produce the maximum lift due to the high pressure on the bottom surface and low pressure on the top surface of an airfoil. And these concepts clears that the flow of air/velocity of air will be low on the lower surface and higher on the upper surface of an airfoil. So, due to these differences in pressures and velocity the aerial can produce lift. Here to let fly the Bike in the air the Flat bottomed Airfoil has been chosen and usually the flat bottomed airfoil is called as the Clark Y and this has the feature as Maximum thickness of 11.7% at 28% chord and maximum camber of 3.4% at 42% chord.
