Awright.
There's more to aerodynamics than that covered by your philosophy. Area and airfoil are not really the right starting place for a new and novel configuration. the dimensions of your wings... First - learn about Reynolds number. Very few of the published airfoils work well below about 3 meg RN. What does that mean in regard to your choices? Well, the two-foot chord wing is going to have to move pretty fast to make 3 meg RN. The four-foot chord wing will have twice the RN from the start. Richard |
