Analysis of Drag for an Aircraft Wing Model with and without Winglet
Mitul Patel, Sharvil Shah, Dharmendra Dubey
Abstract :
This work describes the aerodynamic characteristic for aircraft wing model with and without winglet. Rectangular wing and this aerofoil has been used to compare the result with previous research using winglet. The model of the rectangular wing with winglet has been faicated using polystyrene before design using CATIA software and finally faicated in wood. The experimental analysis for the aerodynamic characteristic for rectangular wing without winglet, wing with horizontal winglet and wing with 60 degree inclination winglet for Reynolds number 1.66×105, 2.08×105 and 2.50×105 have been carried out in open loop low speed wind tunnel at the Aerodynamics laboratory in Bhagwant university,Ajmer. The experimental result shows 25–30 % reduction in drag coefficient and 10– 20 % increase in lift coefficient by using winglet for angle of attack of 8 degree.
