Laboratory Report

Introduction

The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 will be modified in

order to ascertain the stall velocity for the NACA 4415
airfoil. The necessary numbers are listed below to
calculate the stall velocity of the NACA 4415 airfoil.

Objective
For this report, using their selected airfoil which is
NACA 4415 the designers are assigned to modify the
wing of the aircraft, Beechcraft Bonanza. This report
contains all the values determining the stall velocity of
the NACA 4415 airfoil. The purpose is to acquire the
lowest possible stalling speed of the aircraft without
changing its gross weight.

Methodology

Beechcraft Bonanza Specifications:

Gross weight (W)s = 3650 lb = 16235.92 N
Wing Area (S) = 181 ft2 = 16.81 m2

Required values:
Density (⍴) = 0.002377 slugs/ft3 = 1.225 kg/m3 Value
for CLmax was taken from the graph of CL vs Alpha.

CL3 Since CL5 gave the lowest stall velocity value, CL5
will be the selected section for Beechcraft Bonanza

Conclusion
The proponents used the stall speed formula in
order to find out what size is the most optimal in order
for the Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft to acquire the
lowest stall velocity (28.89 m/s). This stall velocity can
be achieved by the help of the high lift device attached
to the wing with an area of 16.81m.
