Inconsistency of use of L

Under Definitions, L is defined to be Lift, but in the next section it is used in an equation where it appears to refer to Length (statement about reference length). It would be good to rename this an make the relationship between the two coefficients clear (CL vs Cl). dP (ML/NL/AI/CogSci) (talk) 05:20, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your suggestion. I have removed L and replaced it with c, the airfoil chord. I will try to address your second suggestion (relationship between the two coefficients) in the near future. Dolphin (t) 14:08, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
