Hi all, i'm trying to estimate wing weight of a sparless (foam core) wing. I'm struggling to find the data required to calculate this, what i'm missing is the area of a clark-y airfoil per unit cord (ie. Area is proportional to cord)...cant even find the line equations :/ wonder if anyone could help or point me in the right direction, maybe i dont have the right search terms.
Failing that i'll import the coordinates into catia and see if i can figure out how to get it to tell me the area.

Thanks
