Statement I: The reference wing area includes the portion carried through the fuselage.

Statement II: Aerodynamic coefficients are meaningless unless the reference area is stated.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.

  • A.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • B.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  • C.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • D.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Answer: D

Both are correct. The trapezoidal reference extends the edges to the centreline, and since every coefficient is divided by that area, quoting a coefficient without its reference gives a number that cannot be compared with anything.
