Hi guys,
I am a newbie to BRF. I recently started following BRF in order to gain some practical knowlwdge in the field of Aviation/Aerospace and general millitary tech.
I have been reading the LCA threads for some time. There is tons of posts there, some of which are really informative and technical. But one thing that hasn't come across in whatever I read (Though I am pretty sure this must have been disscused on BRF at length, I simply couldn't find
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/frown.gif)
).
I wanted to know why the LCA has a compound Delta wing shape with the leading part with larger half angle than the rest of the wing?? Almost every compound delta wing shape used so far in (well-known) aircrafts have this leading part with smaller half angle as compared to the rest of the wing. This thing helps in generating the leading edge vortex etc etc which is well known. Why LCA designers went the other way then?? What are the advantages of such shape??
Would be great if someone could redirect me to the discussions which explain this, if this is already discussed in the past.
Looking for a lot of enlightenment in future from BRF.
