The difference between the wind at 1m (about the average height of your Bo wing) and at 2m (about the average height of a 182 wing) is about 10%. My Bo wing is 4'2" at the tip. I know that because I installed a furnace in my hangar last month. The code calls for the furnace to be a minimum 10 feet above the wing. I'm 6'2" and coud not walk under the wing of my 182 as it sat on its big tires. So I would say the top of the wing tip there would be at most 6'6". Even according to your generalized graph an 18 meter difference in height brings a 5 kph difference in windspeed, the difference between about two feet is trivial and certainly not a factor at all for the subject at hand which was stability of the airplane because one is a high wing and one is a low wing. |
