  1. Wingman-22:Airfoil selection Arnab Roy Chengzhi Qi

  2. Wing Design Process

  3. High Wing • Geometry. • Increases the dihedral effect. It makes the aircraft laterally more stable. (fuselage will also make contribution) • Eases and facilitates to maintenance. • Rolling landing/Rolling take-off: Rotor blade and ground interactions

  4. Clvs alpha • Clmax: Required stall speed mainly governs the Clmax ( Clmaxgives Cd, but Clmaxgives better flight envelope) • αs: stall angle ( : 12° - 16° flight safety ) • α0: Zero lift angle of attack ( {more negative value}: Leaves the capacity for more lift at 0 AOA) • Cl0: Cl at zero angle of attack ( : Implies we can create more lift at 0 AOA) • Clα: Affects the transition ( : Less power used in the rotor) • Cli : Ideal lift coefficient (Clcruise should be close to this to have minimum drag) • Stall Behavior: An airfoil with a gentle drop in lift after the stall is more desired

  5. Clvsalpha (Continued) Req & Assumption: • Cl max around 1.3 • zero lift angle of attack (negative, with flag should around - 5-10 degree) • stall angle > 12 degree better around 15 • zero angle of attack, no requirement, but as good as high it goes.

  6. Cm1/4 Vs. α & Cmac Vs. α • The slope of Cm Vs. alpha at ¼ chord relates to the stability of the airplane (a reasonable negative slope is required) • Size of the tail, elevators are governed by Cm value. More negative Cm results in larger tail = Higher drag, heavier aircraft, higher costs. Req & Assumption: • Cm vs alpha slope is negative • Cm at AC is around -.02 to -.05

  7. Cd vsCl • Cd minimum as low as possible, reduce fuel required • At minimum slope: (Cd/Cl)min = (Cl/Cd)max • During 240 knots (Cruise): Cl should be Cl (ideal) • During 180 knots (loiter): Cl should be Cl(design) Req& Assumption: • Cdmin about .003 to .006

  8. Thickness • Lift curve slope :Cla=1.8*pi*(1+0.8tmax/c) • Strength to support torque by rotors • Storing fuels • Enough space for rotation motion of the rotor • Reduce flutter Req & Assumption: • t/cmaxis about 15% to 20%
