A wing alone arrangement has wing lift curve slope of 2.65 per rad. Find slope of pitching moment coefficient. Given Xcg = 0.3.

Correct Answer: 0.025 per degree
Considering ideal location of aerodynamic centre i.e. Xac = 0.25 Slope of pitching moment curve = (wing lift curve slope*) = (2.56) = 0.1325 per rad = 0.00253 per degree.
