Project Abstract / Summary : Abstract:
Wing conservation is a very important and popular subject given today’s concerns for the environment and operating cost economies in the aviation industry.In air transport, decrease in aerodynamic drag by any means by innovative researchand design leads to reduced fuel consumption. There are several techniques used in the aircraft in order to reduce the aerodynamic drag. Among these solutions, several techniques based on energizing the flow boundary layer, or using in-timemodifications of the airfoil shape (morphing wing concept) will be studied in thisproject. This second approach on morphing wing seems to be promising since a conventional aircraft wing profile cannot be designed optimally for an entire flight mission presenting variable flow conditions in terms of speed, altitude and angle of attack.
Why did you choose to work on this project topic : To learn more about Aerodynamics theory and wing configuration. This project will be discussing co efficient of lift , co efficient of drag and comparing between lift-drag ratio.Considering a transport aircraft for example, enhancing the laminar flow regime by using wing morphing and thereby reducing friction drag would most likely lead to fuel economy. This project focuses on the design of an active extra dos structure for an experimental morphing laminar wing, which will be studied using the computational fluid dynamic analysis.
