Hi All,

I have a trans-sonic swept wing which uses multiple airfoils, 4 from root to tip. When using the Stall CLMax2D should I use the tip foil CLMax or an average?

Thanks,
Mike

I would probably look at the load distribution to see where the wing stalls first and then use the limiting section's clmax as the input value.
