Air density taken as 1.225 kg/m3

Wing chord length is 0.21145 m
Tail chord length is 0.18031 m
Dynamic Viscosity is assumed to be 1.81x10-5 kg/(ms)

All Data collected using XFOIL ver. 6.99

Wing Data:
5 m/s gives a Re value of 71554
10 m/s gives a Re value of 143108
20 m/s gives a Re value of 286217
Zero lift @ -5.037 degrees AoA for Re of 71554
Zero lift @ -5.3279 degrees AoA for 143108
