Aviation Airfoil Applications Dan M. Somers Virginia Langley Research Center Hampton‚ NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration Scientific end Technical Information Branch 1981 . INTRODUCTION Research on advanced-technology’ airfoils for general aviation applications has received considerable attention over the past decade at the NASA Langley Research Center. The initial emphasis in this research program was on the design and testing of turbulent-flow airfoils with

This force is called lift. In heavier-than-air craft‚ lift is created by the flow of air over an airfoil. The shape of an airfoil causes air to flow faster on top than on bottom. The fast flowing air decreases the surrounding air pressure. Because the air pressure is greater below the airfoil than above‚ a resulting lift force is created. To further understand how an airfoil creates lift‚ it is necessary to use two important equations of physical

turn diagonal flow to the axial direction. The diagonal compressor has a lower diameter diffuser than the equivalent centrifugal compressor. Axial-flow compressors Axial-flow compressors are dynamic rotating compressors that use arrays of fan-like airfoils to progressively compress the working fluid. They are used where there is a requirement for a high flow rate or a compact design. The

“The Evolution of Airplanes” Introduction This year is the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin (1809-1882)‚ the father of evolution. Darwin’s evolution theory proposes that all species of organisms‚ including human beings‚ evolved from common ancestors. There are five main characteristics in his evolution theory. First‚ there are variations among each population. Second‚ organisms compete for limited resources to exist. Third‚ traits of offspring are inherited from their parents. Forth‚ organisms

Bernoulli’s Principle and Newton’s Laws of Motion Embry-Riddle University Bernoulli’s Principle and Newton’s Laws of Motion Bernoulli’s Principle In fluid dynamics‚ Bernoulli’s principles states that an increase in the speed of the fluid corresponds to a decrease in pressure of the same fluid. Similarly‚ the decrease in pressure corresponds to a loss in the potential energy of the fluid. The principle is applicable to various types of fluids‚ which leads to Bernoulli’s

Winglets are vertical extensions of wingtips that improve an aircraft’s fuel efficiency and cruising range. Designed as small airfoils‚ winglets reduce the aerodynamic drag associated with vortices that develop at the wingtips as the airplane moves through the air. By reducing wingtip drag‚ fuel consumption goes down and range is extended. Aircraft of all types and sizes are flying with winglets -- from single-seat hang gliders and ultralights to global jumbo jets. Some aircraft are designed and

Proper design of an airfoil requires an accurate prediction of the pressure distribution. Initially‚ thin-airfoil theory is used to analyse or design airfoils. However‚ due to its deficiencies for multi-element airfoils‚ this theory is not much used
