The results of the lab are shown in Table 1 and Table 2. The data is plotted in Figure 3, which shows the pressure coefficient, C_p, versus the pressure port coordinate, x/c, for angles of attack at 0, 4, and 8°. To be more visually intuitive, the negative C_p values are plotted above the horizontal axis. This is to show that the upper surface (the top line of the chart) is mostly negative pr

Pressure distributions on airfoils are directly related to lift generation and important information to characterize the performance of airfoils. Airfoil designers manipulate pressure distributions to acquire desired characteristics of airfoils. As such, pressure distribution information is the foundation of aerodynamics analysis during aircraft development.

In this experiment, the pressure distribution of Clark Y-14 was investigated in a wind tunnel and the 19 ports of pressure measurement we
