I am an assistant for an Intro to Aeronautical Engineering course here at WMU and the grad student I am assisting was looking for lift and drag curves for these Cessna types. We do not need curves for each, just curves for one of these types of Cessnas for use with teaching. We would like to show the students what real lift/drag curves of REAL aircraft look like. The Cessnas we consider to be the "typical" airplane for our intents and purposes.
So all that said, does anyone know where to find these? I am going to give google a shot but would like to make sure I am getting accurate data.
