since then‚ Formula 1 has led the way in innovative methods of generating downforce within ever more restrictive regulations. Figure 1: Opel’s rocket powered RAK2‚ with large side wings 2 Airfoils Airfoil can be definead as a shape of wing‚ as seen in cross-section. In order to describe an airfoil‚ we must define the following terms(Figure 2) • The mean camber line is a line drawn midway between the upper and lower surfaces. • The leading and trailing edge are the most forward an rearward

pressure on the top of the wing. Some other enhancements that I will make would be to sand the wings so that the airfoil and the rest of the body is smooth and has the least amount air resistance possible. It’s important that the airfoil‚ which is a cross section of the total wing‚ has a streamline shape to it‚ in order to minimize air resistance. The airfoil will be a thick airfoil which in turn creates high lift. With high

Airflow over an airfoil Flight is one of the most important achievements of mankind. We owe this achievement to the invention of the airfoil and understanding the physics that allow it to lift enormous weights into the sky. All flight is the result of forces acting upon the wings of an airplane that allow it to counteract gravity. Contrary to popular belief‚ the Bernoulli principle is not responsible for most of the lift generated by an airplanes wings. Rather‚ the lift is created by air

conducting airfoil drag analysis on a NACA 0015 airfoil. The small subsonic wind tunnel along with apparatus such as‚ the manometer rake‚ the inclined manometer and the pitot - static tube were used with different baffle settings to record varying pressure readings. To achieve this objective‚ some assumptions were made for the lower range of subsonic flow to simplify the overall analysis. From the obtained aerodynamic measurements using a pitot-static tube mounted ahead of the airfoil at the test

Introduction:- A helicopter is a very unique type of aircraft that uses rotating blades (wings of a airplane‚ and a helicopter must be curved from the front and gradually smooth out at the back to generate lift. This shape is called an airfoil ) to acquire lift .Unlike an airplane that is dependent on speed‚ an airplane must fly in a certain speed to move enough air over its wings to provide lift. A helicopter’s rotor also allows it to move forward ‚backward‚ upward downward‚ sideways
