How is the lift generated by a number of out-of-plane staggered wings calculated?
I want to calculate the lift generated by a number of out-of-plane staggered wings but I don't think a valid approach is to simply use superposition and add the sum of the lift of all the wing's in isolation … wing lift coefficient, which is a function of the wing geometry. …

What is the method to calculate a finite wing's lift from its sectional airfoil shape?
Lift versus drag and AoA data of many airfoils are freely available, for instance the NACA 4-digit airfoils.
The data is that of sectional, or 2D, lift and drag, or $C_l$ and $C_d$. … Now, if I were to build a 3D finite wing using a certain airfoil, how would I go about calculating the 3D coefficient of lift $C_L$? …

How to find polar curves of airliners?
The pilots operating manual of our Cessna 182 contains the lift-versus-alpha and lift-versus-drag data of the airplane, so I assume this is data that should be publicly available. …
