Abstract This report aims to suggest better estimations for tail parameter sizes and develop relations between the dorsal fin and vertical tail to aid in conceptual design. This is done mainly through statistical a analyses based on measurements from 3-view drawings developing previously unexplored relation- a aships. Parameter analyzed for horizontal and vertical tail are tail volume coefficient, aspect ratio, ataper ratio, sweep angle and relative thickness of the airfoil, furthermore relative chord and span for elevatora and rudder. This report proposes for example to take the relative thickness ratio of the hori- zontala tail as approximately 81% that of the wing. The final methods of dorsal fin sizing were found a to achieve an average error of 18%. a 20.

Price unclassified - unlimited Dokumentationsblatt nach DIN 1422 Teil 4 3 AERO_TN_TailSizing_13-04-15 Abstract In the tail sizing stage of conceptual design, it is aimed to estimate the different tail parameter sizes as accurately as possible. The first problem dealt with in this report is to suggest better estimations for tail parameter sizes. Data produced from measurements of aircraft 3-view dia- grams and data of new aircraft are averaged with data published by previous authors to im- prove these estimates. Moreover, this report tries to develop previously unexplored relation- ships to aid in estimation. Parameters analyzed are volume coefficient, aspect ratio, taper ra- tio, quarter chord sweep angle, relative thickness of the airfoil and control surface chords and spans. This report proposes ranges of 3.38 to 5.34 and 0.27 to 0.51 for a horizontal tail aspect ratio and taper ratio respectively for jet transport aircraft. Also, it claims that the relative thickness ratio of the horizontal tail is approximately 81% that of the wing. The second prob- lem dealt with is to develop relations between the dorsal fin and vertical tail to aid in concep- tual design of the dorsal fin. A dorsal fin is an extension in front of the vertical tail stretching along the fuselage with a sweep angle higher than that of the vertical tail. A vertical tail needs to cope with high side slip angles in order to protect the aircraft. A dorsal fin can help to in- crease the stall angle of the isolated vertical tail. Vertical tails with low leading edge sweep benefit from an addition of a dorsal fin. The dorsal fin leading edge sweep is typically around 72˚ for jet and 75˚ for propeller aircraft. The proposed sizing method is based on statistics of regional jet and propeller airliners for the root chord of the dorsal fin as a function of the root chord of the tail. The final methods were found to achieve an average error of 18%. This re- port can therefore be useful to a designer attempting to estimate parameter sizes for the tail and dorsal fin of an aircraft during the conceptual design phase. 4 AERO_TN_TailSizing_13-04-15 Table of Contents List of Figures.................................................................................................. 7 List of Tables ................................................................................................. 10 List of Symbols .............................................................................................. 12 List of Abbreviations ..................................................................................... 13 Terms and Definitions.................................................................................... 14 1 Introduction ............................................................................................... 20 1.1 Motivation ..................................................................................................... 20 1.2 Definitions ..................................................................................................... 21 1.3 Objectives ...................................................................................................... 22 1.4 Methodology ................................................................................................. 23 1.5 Literature ....................................................................................................... 24 1.6 Structure of the Report ................................................................................... 25 2 State of the Art ............................................................................................. 27 2.1 General Characteristics of Vertical Tails, Dorsal and Ventral Fins ................. 27 2.2 Aerodynamic Characteristics of Vertical Tails ............................................... 30 2.3 Aerodynamic Characteristics of Dorsal Fins .................................................. 38 2.4 Types of Dorsal Fins ...................................................................................... 43 2.5 Tail Sizing ..................................................................................................... 45 2.5.1 Tail Area and Tail Span ................................................................................. 45 2.5.2 Tail Volume Coefficients ............................................................................... 50 2.5.3 Aspect Ratio .................................................................................................. 54 2.5.4 Taper Ratio .................................................................................................... 57 2.5.5 Quarter Chord Sweep Angle .........................................................................

Advanced graphite/epoxy composites are especially favored due to their high stiffness, strength-to-weight ratios, and resistance to fatigue and corrosion. Research emphasis to date has been on the design and fabrication of composite detail parts, with considerably less attention given to the cost and quality issues in their subsequent assembly.

Keith Walters, Chair Dr. Hamidreza Shabgard Dr. Prakash Vedula ©Copyright by Tausif Jamal 2019 All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT As an airfoil achieves lift, the pressure differential at the wingtips trigger the roll up of fluid which results in swirling wakes. This wake is characterized by the presence of strong rotating cylindrical vortices that can persist for miles. Since large aircrafts can generate strong vortices, airports require a minimum separation between two aircrafts to ensure safe take-off and landing. Recently, there have been considerable efforts to address the effects of wingtip vortices such as the categorization of expected wake turbulence for commercial aircrafts to optimize the wait times during take-off and landing. However, apart from the implementation of winglets, there has been little effort to address the issue of wingtip vortices via minimal changes to airfoil design. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of a newly proposed retractable wingtip vortex reduction device for commercial aircrafts. The proposed design consists of longitudinal slits placed in the streamwise direction near the wingtip to reduce the pressure differential between the pressure and the suction sides.

Moccia ___________________________________________________________________________ Francesco De Rosa - Electrically Heated Composite Leading Edges for Aircraft Anti-Icing Applications 2 Abstract An investigation was conducted in the Aerospace Engineering Department (DIAS) at Federico II University of Naples aiming to evaluate the feasibility and the performance of an electrically heated composite leading edge for anti-icing and de-icing applications. A 283 [mm] chord NACA0012 airfoil prototype was designed, manufactured and equipped with an High Temperature composite leading edge with embedded Ni-Cr heating element. The heating element was fed by a DC power supply unit and the average power densities supplied to the leading edge were ranging 1.0 to 30.0 [kW m-2]. The present investigation focused on thermal tests experimentally performed under fixed icing conditions with zero AOA, Mach=0.2, total temperature of -20 [°C], liquid water content LWC=0.6 [g m-3] and average mean volume droplet diameter MVD=35 [µm]. These fixed conditions represented the top icing performance of the Icing Flow Facility (IFF) available at DIAS and therefore it has represented the “sizing design case” for the tested prototype.
