KR> wing design question

I am referring to two things, one is an article from Barnaby Wainfan in Kitplanes a few months back talked about it and the other are RV's. unless I am mistaken?? I know sailplanes will change the entire airfoil to a higher lifting airfoil at the tip from the root. Where the root will be fat up to

  If I may... --- Fred: "(if) a barn door no taper wing doesn't require washout,"   Old Piper Hershey-bar wings I've looked at have washout.   Which ones are you referring to that don't 'need' washout? Washout is one strategy to helping the root stall befor

Mark, I did mean same airfoil, just thinner profile out to the tip. Like say 18% at the root and 14% or thinner at the tip. All the same chord. The drag at the root would be slightly higher but would the lift be slightly greater also because of the thickness? You are correct, the AS is as good a

KR> wing design question

I have wing design question maybe someone on the group will know: If a tapered wing requires washout to keep the tip from stalling first, and a barn door no taper wing doesn't require washout, what would a no taper wing need if it just changes thickness from root to tip but not chord? Fred John
