(a)
If a rear lift truss is used, it must be designed to withstand conditions of reversed airflow at a design speed of—
V=8.7 √(W/S) 8.7 (knots), where W/S=wing loading at design maximum takeoff weight.
(b)
Either aerodynamic data for the particular wing section used, or a value of C
L equalling −0.8 with a chordwise distribution that is triangular between a peak at the trailing edge and zero at the leading edge, must be used.
