The LEZ and Cozy identify the amout of Washout (twist) in the wing on the wing drawing ....

On the Cozy - Chapter 19 - page 10 ....

 

Drawing shows .6 degrees washin at the strake interface and 2.7 degress washout at the wing's tip.

 

If you have a drawing of the VariExe's wing - could you please share what Burt identified as those values.

Thanks.

 

I have that document and have studied it.

 

It does not state the amount of washout.

 

The wing section has the following statement:

 

Tip Incidence, deg = -1.8

 

I take that as a measurement of the actual aircraft - not the design criteria.

 

If that is correct, then the VariEze had a washout of 1.8 degrees and the LEZ/Cozy has a washout of 3.3 degrees over it's wing span.

 

Does anyone know what the design criteria was?

The Long-EZ wing design is different than the Vari-Eze.

The Long-EZ was the basis for the Cozy design.

This would explain the difference between them.

Sure, it does. Root incidence and tip incidence are both given. Washout is 3 degrees.

could you elaborate ? will that change the water line ?

can you see the 3.3 or can it be measured?
