Hi.
I'm using ANSYS DesingXplorer for optimizing a wing. Wing root chord length is 1.21m and tip chord is 0.234m.
One of my input parameters for DOE is airfoil thickness to chord ratio (t/c). I'm wondering how can I change airfoil thickness without any change to chord length? is it even possible or it's just the only way?
for example, I'm changing it from t/c=0.1 to t/c=0.06. but root chord changes from 1.21 to 0.731, respectively.
Airfoil is naca64a210.
Thank you.
