Re: Wing root fairing - it doesn't matter ....?

[Jeffrey Jukes <jupa@cix.compulink.co.uk>]

In Darrol Stintons book,"The Design of the Aeroplane" At the end of 
Chapter 4 (Arrangement of Surfaces) Fig 4.24 gives values for the radius 
of the wing root fairing.

Taking stations across the wing chord (= C), I read it as being

Chord %                 25                      75

Radius of fillet        0.05C to 0.1C           0.1C to 0.2C

This then suggests a radius of approx 2" to 4" at the front of the wing 
and 8" at the trailing edge.
