AAE 451 Aircraft Design - Purdue University

Since the mission encompasses both speed and loiter phases, an AR of 5.76 was selected – this strikes a balance between the lower AR needed for speed, and the higher AR needed for loiter. Although the primary focus of the design mission is high speed flight, there is also a stall speed requirement that must be respected (Vstall ≤ 30 ft/s). ................
