چکیده

This paper aims to numerically validate the aerodynamic performance and benefits of variable camber rate morphing wings, by comparing them conventional ones with plain flaps, when deflection angles vary, assessing their D reduction or L/D improvement. Many morphing-related research works mainly focus on design mechanisms using smart materials, innovative mechanism designs through materials structure advancements. However, foundational work that establishes motivation technology development has been overlooked in most works. All things considered, this starts verification numerical model used for analysis then conducts (1) wings (2) wings. Finally, we find matching pairs a direct comparison effectiveness As result, equivalent varying flap angles, are improved at least 1.7% ratio, up 18.7% angle attack, ? = 8° 3% rate. Overall, entire range ?, which conceptualizes aircrafts mission planning operation, superior D, L/D, improvement over ones. By providing rates evaluates validates efficiency aircraft, important aspect aircraft as well agility manoeuvrability, compared wing aircraft.

Aerodynamic Performance of Biological Airfoils

Experimental studies on static, non-flapping dragonfly wings have shown favorable aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds number (Re ≤ 10,000). High lift is hypothesized to arise from the dragonfly’s pleated wing structure. A numerical study of flow past a modeled dragonfly wing section as well as its comparison to a corresponding profiled airfoil and a flat plate were conducted at Re = 10,000....
