Lesson Learned: While this project was relatively simple, it did expose me to various aspects, ranging from how a wind tunnel works, the purpose of a wind tunnel, and the ideal camber angle/design for aircraft wings. Before this experience, I was under the impression that the design of the wing played a trivial role in ensuring efficient air-flight, but the series of tests my class conducted truly proved me wrong, showing me that the design is absolutely instrumental. It also taught me that the smallest changes in regard to design can effect lift and drag significantly.
Most Challenging Aspect: Being honest, creating the graphs and doing the calculations was the hardest aspect of the project, as the assignment was relatively easier overall. In the process of completing the calculations, I was making a lot errors inherently making the assignment harder than it truly was.
What I could've done differently: For the most part, I completed the assignment correctly without any errors, but I could've done a better job of arranging data chronologically, as I lost points for not maintaining proper structure. Even though it was a small mistake, it still helped me carry out assignments in engineering with better organization, creativity, and neatness.
