hey guys, im jonathan,

im a student at strathclyde university in glasgow. i was wonderning if anyone would know how to calculate the lift coefficient of a reverse delta wing aircraft, been puzzling over this for a week now and can't come up with anything half decent. any tips/ hints would be great.

this is for a project where we have to build a hoverwing boat to fly in ground effect. here are what previous years have basically made, they are good hover crafts, but poor planes so this year we are gonna make a ground effect plane and then worry about making it hover.

we were looking at some reverse delta wing like Lippisch's and would like to build a prototype like the attached file.


many thanks
jonathan
