Calculating Tapered Wing Aircraft

[ChimM]

Hi, can you help me understand this?

"the tapered wing having a 6-ft. chord at the root, the leading and trailing edges being tangent to a circle of 2-ft. radius at the tip, and the fuselage being 3 ft. wide."

What should the diagram looked like? 2 circles, 1 with 2 ft radius, and 3 ft in diameter?

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?

Hi there! Sure, I can try to help you understand this. Based on the information given, the diagram should look something like this:

[Diagram of a tapered wing with a 6-ft. chord at the root, leading and trailing edges tangent to a circle of 2-ft. radius at the tip, and a 3 ft. wide fuselage]

As you mentioned, there would be two circles in the diagram. One with a 2 ft. radius, representing the tip of the wing, and another with a 3 ft. diameter, representing the fuselage. The leading and trailing edges of the wing would be tangent to the circle with a 2 ft. radius, creating a tapered shape. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
