Abstract

The present paper describes two conceptual wing designs that maintain equals the wing area, the aspect ratio, the wing span and the aerodynamic profiles, varying wing shape by changing the length of the root and tip chord of each model, in order to determinate the most efficient wing geometry design of an aerodynamic nacelle than could be implemented in a recoverable and reusable radio probe. The lift and drag coefficients are analyzed in function of the angle of attack, as a comparative parameter, finding an improvement on the lift when the tip chord has more length.
