On Trapeze Wing Aerodynamics Calculations Based on Improved Vortex Lattice Method
Author:
Abstract: This paper presents, aerodynamics coefficients calculation (Lifting & drag coefficients, pressure central location) of Trapeze wing shape configurations for different aspect ratios (ARs) values by using improved vortex lattice method (VLM), compared with finite-wing and slender body theories. The planar wing was divided into N panels of the size: 6X6 with trapezoid shape panels. As expected, for high ARs the VLM solution for the lifting coefficient is coincided with the finite wing theory whereas for small ARs (<1) it is coincided with the slender body theory (~1). Afterwards, we obtained that the calculated VLM induced drag becomes closer to the finitewing theory as the AR value is increased.
