Interim Reflection

So far, my research in aerodynamics has been successful since the results fit my model quite well, although with minor flaws like the relatively big uncertainties for some values. Generally, my essay has been fully conducted in-depth yet easy to understand. I have learned a lot of aerodynamics knowledge from this research, especially in terminologies. Besides the knowledge, I also gained skills such as 3D modeling and 3D printing when I was creating the equipment (airfoils). Originally I was only trying to measure the angle of attack from -5 to 20 degrees, but soon I realized that the range is not enough to observe the stall effect. Therefore I extend the range to -5 to 40 degrees. Initially, I was aiming at developing a general model for wings, but due to the complexity involved in the variables, I had a better understanding that the research would be more doable if it only focuses on a specific model of wings.
