  • 5.2 Drag Reduction Through Higher Wing Loading David L. Kohlman
    5.2 Drag Reduction Through Higher Wing Loading David L. Kohlman University of Kansas |ntroduction The wing typically accounts for almost half of the wetted area of today's production light airplanes and approximately one-third of the total zero-lift or parasite drag. Thus the wing should be a primary focal point of any attempts to reduce drag of light aircraft with the most obvious configuration change being a reduction in wing area. Other possibilities involve changes in thickness, planform, and airfoil section. This paper will briefly discuss the effects of reducing wing area of typical light airplanes, constraints involved, and related configuration changes which may be necessary. Constraints and Benefits The wing area of current light airplanes is determined primarily by stall speed and/or climb performance requirements. Table I summarizes the resulting wing loading for a representative spectrum of single-engine airplanes. The maximum lift coefficient with full flaps, a constraint on wing size, is also listed. Note that wing loading (at maximum gross weight) ranges between about 10 and 20 psf, with most 4-place models averaging between 13 and 17. Maximum lift coefficient with full flaps ranges from 1.49 to 2.15. Clearly if CLmax can be increased, a corresponding decrease in wing area can be permitted with no change in stall speed. If total drag is not increased at climb speed, the change in wing area will not adversely affect climb performance either and cruise drag will be reduced. Though not related to drag, it is worthy of comment that the range of wing loading in Table I tends to produce a rather uncomfortable ride in turbulent air, as every light-plane pilot is well aware.

The proposed approach is integrated, as it allows an early estimation of main aircraft aerodynamic features, namely the maximum lift-to-drag ratio and the total parasitic drag. First, the influence of the Lift and Load scatterings on the overall performance characteristics of the wing are discussed. It is established that the optimization is achieved by designing a wing geometry that yields elliptical lift and load distributions. Second, the reference trapezoidal wing is considered the base line geometry used to outline the wing shape layout. As such, the main geometrical parameters and governing relations for a trapezoidal wing are

  • Redesign of the Gossamer Albatross Using a Boxwing Armando R
    Redesign of the Gossamer Albatross using a Boxwing Armando R. Collazo Garcia III, Undergraduate Student-Aerospace Engineering, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, FL 32114, [email protected] April 12, 2017 ABSTRACT Historically, human powered aircraft (HPA) have been known to have very large wingspans; the main reason being for aerodynamic performance. During low speeds, the predominant type of drag is the induced drag which is a by-product of large wing tip vortices generated at higher lift coefficients. In order to reduce this phenomenon, higher aspect ratio wings are used which is the reason behind the very large wingspans for HPA. Due to its high Oswald efficiency factor, the boxwing configuration is presented as a possible solution to decrease the wingspan while not affecting the aerodynamic performance of the airplane. The new configuration is analyzed through the use of VLAERO+©. The parasitic drag was estimated using empirical methods based on the friction drag of a flat plate. The structural weight changes in the boxwing design were estimated using “area weights” derived from the original Gossamer Albatross. The two aircraft were compared at a cruise velocity of 22 ft./s where the boxwing configuration showed a net drag reduction of approximately 0.36 lb., which can be deduced from a decrease of 0.81 lb. of the induced drag plus an increase of the parasite drag of around 0.45 lb. Therefore, for an aircraft with approximately half the wingspan, easier to handle, and more practical, the drag is essentially reduced by 4.4%. INTRODUCTION METHODOLOGY RESULTS Because of the availability of information and data, the Gossamer A boxwing of roughly half the span of the Albatross with the same airfoil, root chord, fuselage and taper ratio was modeled in VLAERO+©.

  • 7. Transonic Aerodynamics of Airfoils and Wings
    W.H. Mason 7. Transonic Aerodynamics of Airfoils and Wings 7.1 Introduction Transonic flow occurs when there is mixed sub- and supersonic local flow in the same flowfield (typically with freestream Mach numbers from M = 0.6 or 0.7 to 1.2). Usually the supersonic region of the flow is terminated by a shock wave, allowing the flow to slow down to subsonic speeds. This complicates both computations and wind tunnel testing. It also means that there is very little analytic theory available for guidance in designing for transonic flow conditions. Importantly, not only is the outer inviscid portion of the flow governed by nonlinear flow equations, but the nonlinear flow features typically require that viscous effects be included immediately in the flowfield analysis for accurate design and analysis work. Note also that hypersonic vehicles with bow shocks necessarily have a region of subsonic flow behind the shock, so there is an element of transonic flow on those vehicles too. In the days of propeller airplanes the transonic flow limitations on the propeller mostly kept airplanes from flying fast enough to encounter transonic flow over the rest of the airplane. Here the propeller was moving much faster than the airplane, and adverse transonic aerodynamic problems appeared on the prop first, limiting the speed and thus transonic flow problems over the rest of the aircraft. However, WWII fighters could reach transonic speeds in a dive, and major problems often arose. One notable example was the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. Transonic effects prevented the airplane from readily recovering from dives, and during one flight test, Lockheed test pilot Ralph Virden had a fatal accident.

Typical performances (2006) Gliders (see picture): V= ~30 to >145 km/h Glide ratio = ~17:1 (Vopt = 45-60 km/h) Rigid wings: V = ~ 35 to > 130 km/h Glide ratio = ~20:1 (Vopt = 50-60 km/h) How aircraft fly 5 Question With Gliders you have to run to generate enough lift – often down hill to make it easier. Is the wind direction of any influence? How aircraft fly 6 Answer What matters is the Airspeed – Not the ground speed. The higher the Airspeed – the higher the lift. So if I run 15 km/h with head wind of 10 km/h, than I create a higher lift (airspeed of 25 km/h) than when I run at the same speed with a tail wind of 10 km/h (airspeed 5 km/h)!! That’s why aircraft: - Take of with head winds – than they need a shorter runway - Land with head winds – than the stopping distance is shorter too How aircraft fly 7 Beginning of 20th century: many pioneers Early Flight 1m12s Failed Pioneers of Flight 2m53s How aircraft fly 8 1903 – first powered HtA flight The Wright Brothers December 17, 1903 How aircraft fly 9 Wright Flyer take-off & demo flight Wright Brothers lift-off 0m33s How aircraft fly 10 Wright Brs.

NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS WASHINGTON June 3, 1948 Declassified February 10, 1956 NACA PM No. L8A28c NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS RESEARCH MEMORANDUM EFFECTS OF SWEEP ON CONTROLS By John G. Lowry., John A. Axelson, and Harold I. Johnson SUMMARY An analysis of principal results of recent control-surface research pertinent to transonic flight has -been made. Available experimental data on control surfaces of both unswept and sweptback configurations at transonic speeds are used to indiäate the control-surface characteristics in the transonic speed range. A design procedure for controls on swept- back wings based on low-speed experimental data is also discussed. The results indicated, that no serious problems resulting from compressibility effects would be encountered as long as the speeds are kept below the critical speed of the wing and the trailing-edge angle is kept small. Above critical speed, however, the behavior of the' controls depended to a large extent on the wing sweep angle. The design procedures presented for controls on swept wings, although of a preliminary nature, appear to offer a method of estimating the effec- tiveness of flap-type controls on swept wings of normal aspect ratio and taper ratio. INTRODUCTION The design of controls for unswept wings that fly at low speed has been discussed in several papers (references 1 to 7). The design procedures set forth in these papers are adequate to allow for the prediction of control characteristics within small limits.

Camber was altered via a simple plain flap deflection in the winglet, which produced a constant camber change over the winglet span. Hinge points were located at 20%, 50% and 80% of the chord and the trailing edge was deflected between -5° and +5°. Analysis was performed using a combination of three- dimensional vortex lattice method and two-dimensional panel method to obtain aerodynamic forces for the entire wing, based on different winglet camber configurations. This method was validated against high-fidelity steady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes simulations to determine the accuracy of these methods. It was determined that any winglet flap deflections increased induced drag and parasitic drag, thus decreasing efficiency for steady level flight conditions.
