Re: [RCSE] Re: Optimum aspect ratio - induced drag and span

[Thomas Koszuta]

There was a study done by Blaine K. Beron-Rawdon of Envision Design, at 
least a few years ago.  I will post this to news:rec.models.rc.soaring  for 
your perusal.  The study spanned several wingpans and aspect ratios and has 
a document that summarizes the results.

E-mail if you need a copy directly.

So which term dominates is not completely clear without running  through a
bunch of numbers and making some estimates of weights, planforms, etc.
