This national day of action is inspired Emma Sulkowicz, who started carrying her dorm mattress around the Columbia University campus, and still continues to, until her rapist is expelled from Columbia University. Students of Columbia University followed in her footsteps as they carried their mattresses around campus to support Sulkowicz and her cause. Eventually, this trend spread to hundreds of colleges and high schools around the country in which they organized local events along with thousands of individuals participating on their own with one goal in common—to carry the weight together against sexual and domestic violence.

    The lift and drag characteristics of NACA 0012, 1408, 2412, and 4412 airfoils are characterized using a 6” by 6” subsonic wind tunnel equipped with a force balance. The axial and normal forces on the airfoil are measured at angles of attack ranging from -8° to 28° and used to determine lift and drag forces. Lift, drag, and drag polar curves are generated using experimental data. Lift coefficients are found to increase linearly with increasing angle of attack up to the critical angle of attack. Drag coefficients are found to increase quadratically with increasing angle of attack.
