The most important single parameter governing whether a section stalls gently or abruptly is

  • A.The chord length
  • B.The span of the wing
  • C.The free-stream density
  • D.The leading edge radius

Answer: D

Correct answer: The leading edge radius

It is the leading edge radius that decides where separation begins. A generous radius keeps the nose suction peak moderate, so the boundary layer first fails near the trailing edge and separation creeps forward, giving a rounded lift curve and buffet warning. A sharp nose produces a violent peak and separation at the leading edge, and the lift collapses without warning.
