Coding of Prandlt''s Lifting Line Theory using Matlab

Objectives:
To study the lifting profiles of the different types of wings mainly Rectangular, semi- elliptical and Triangular wings. To use the Prandtl equation and write a Matlab code for it. Compare the different results of theoretical and numerical values generated from the codes for different types of the wings and compare them with different aspect ratio(?) and angle of attack(a).

Details:
The Prandtl Lifting line theory is a mathematical model for predicting the lift distribution over a three-dimensional wing based on its geometry.
The project was divided into 3 tasks:
Task 1: Coding of the Prandlt's Equation.
Task 2: Comparison of the performance of the 3 types of wing tested for circulation and induced drag.
Task 3: Comparison of the theoretical results with the numerical results obtained from the code.
