Wing: Clark Y airfoil, Constant Chord, NO FLAPS
19 ft 3 in. 82.5–83 sq ft
Wing Characteristics
- Airfoil:It specifically utilizes the Clark Y airfoil, chosen to provide high lift from a relatively small wing area.
- Planform:The wing is of constant chord, meaning the width from the front to the back remains the same from the fuselage to the tip.
- Construction:To simplify assembly for first-time builders, each wing is constructed from two sheets of aluminum with no trimming required. It consists of flanged metal spars and pressed metal ribs covered in aluminum skin.
- Mounting: Unlike most aircraft with complex wing-to-fuselage fittings, the DA-2A wing spar runs directly through the middle of the fuselage box, and the two are joined by simple flat sheet stiffeners.
