To include a correction for finite AR wings and 3-dimensional airflow , Andy Lennon's book 'The Basics of RC Model Aircraft Design' incorporates two graphical ways of determining the planformadjustmentfactors for aspect ratio and taper ratio.
Eventhough this manner works fine, I would like to be able to just calculate these factors. Does anyone know the formula's for achieving this?
And the formula's for calculating the adjustmentfactors for the induced drag of a wingplanform?
