Example Test Result Summarize results in a written report. Save your model for a presentation. Conclusion Explain differences between the airfoil simulation prediction and the wind tunnel test results. The difference is in how the prediction is calculated. The airfoil simulation has numbers that are generated by the numbers and restrictions of the plane. The wind tunnel has your actual airfoil and gives numbers calculated from what you made. The wind tunnel to me is more accurate because it has what you produced, not what a perfect one would be in the simulation. What characteristic of the airfoil had the most significant impact on lift and drag? The characteristic that affected the airfoil’s lift and drag is the angle of attack because it drastically changed the number of the lift and drag. Explain what you would change in the design of your airfoil design? I would better sand and cut the foil because the design was rigid at some places. I would make it with a smaller slope and make it flatter.
