Abstract

This paper presents an analytical method to describe the shape of an airplane wing. The analytical shape of the wing section implies analytical expressions for the wing parameters: maximum thickness, maximum camber, maximum camber position, minimum thickness position, and so on. The analytical expressions of the wings in a first representation allow simple relationships with the geometric parameters of the wing. The defined expressions for the wings parameters relevant for aircraft design are versatile.
