Abstract An investigation was conducted at Mach numbers of 0.7 and 0.9 to determine the lift interference effect of canard location on wing planforms typical of maneuvering fighter con- figurations. The canard had an exposed area of 16.0 percent of the wing reference area and was located in the plane of the wing or in a position 18.5 percent of the wing mean geometric chord above the wing plane. In addition, the canard could be located at two longitudinal stations.

A class of body exists, However for which the component of the resultant force normal to the direction to the motion is many time greater than the component resisting the motion, and the possibility of the flight of an airplane depends on the use of the body of this class for wing structure. Airfoil is such an aerodynamic shape that when it moves through air, the air is split and passes above and below the wing. The wing’s upper surface is shaped so the air rushing over the top speeds up and stretches out. This decreases the air pressure above the wing. The air flowing below the wing moves in a comparatively straighter line, so its speed and air pressure remain the same.

    Aerodynamics of High-Performance Wing Sails

    Aerodynamics of High-Performance Wing Sails J. otto Scherer^ Some of tfie primary requirements for tiie design of wing sails are discussed. In particular, ttie requirements for maximizing thrust when sailing to windward and tacking downwind are presented. The results of water channel tests on six sail section shapes are also presented. These test results Include the data for the double-slotted flapped wing sail designed by David Hubbard for A. F. Dl Mauro's lYRU "C" class catamaran Patient Lady II. Introduction The propulsion system is probably the single most neglect­ ed area of yacht design. The conventional triangular "soft" sails, while simple, practical, and traditional, are a long way from being aerodynamically desirable. The aerodynamic driving force of the sails is, of course, just as large and just as important as the hydrodynamic resistance of the hull. Yet, designers will go to great lengths to fair hull lines and tank test hull shapes, while simply drawing a triangle on the plans to define the sails. There is no question in my mind that the application of the wealth of available airfoil technology will yield enormous gains in yacht performance when applied to sail design. Re­ cent years have seen the application of some of this technolo­ gy in the form of wing sails on the lYRU "C" class catamar­ ans. In this paper, I will review some of the aerodynamic re­ quirements of yacht sails which have led to the development of the wing sails. For purposes of discussion, we can divide sail require­ ments into three points of sailing: • Upwind and close reaching.

    The Effect of Slot Configuration on Active Flow Control Performance of Swept Wings at Low Reynolds Numbers Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation with Honors Research Distinction in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at The Ohio State University By Ali N. Hussain B.S. Program in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering The Ohio State University Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering April 2018 Thesis Committee Dr. Jeffrey P. Bons, Advisor Dr. Clifford Whitfield, Committee Member © Copyright by Ali N. Hussain 2018 2 Abstract Active flow control (AFC) in the form of a discrete wall normal slot was investigated on a NACA 643-618 laminar wing model. The wing model has a leading-edge sweep of (Λ = 30°) and tests were performed using a chordwise Reynolds number of 100,000 with specific focus on the stall characteristics and performance of AFC while reducing energy needs. The study included comparing a segmented slot to a single continuous slot as well as the positioning of the slot itself along the chord at a spanwise location of z/b = 70%. For an Aeff/A of 0.5 (as compared to the original slot) maximum lift performance improved 9.6% for multiple slots while a single slot improved the maximum lift by 8.3% over the baseline. Surface flow visualization using tufts revealed that a single slot is much more effective at stopping spanwise flow and delaying stall to a higher angle of attack by 4°. For an Aeff/A of 0.75 (as compared to the original slot), lift performance improved 15.6% and 16.2% by covering x/c = 25% of the slot on the pressure and suction side of the airfoil, respectively.
