This book was released on 1963 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The basic aerodynamic relations needed for the design of wings with cambered span having a minimum induced drag at specified flight conditions are developed for wings of arbitrary spanwise camber. Procedures are also developed for determining the physical wing form required to obtain the maximum value of lift-drag ratio at cruise, when the wing spanwise camber-line and section profiles are specified, by optimizing the wing chord and twist distributions with respect to both profile and induced drags. The application of the design procedure is illustrated by determining the physical wing form for a circular-arc spanwise camber line. The efficiency of this cambered wing is compared with that of an equal-span, flat wing of elliptical planform which satisfies the same set of fright operating conditions as does the cambered wing. The wing pitching- moment equations for optimally loaded cambered-span wings at design flight conditions are also developed for use in trim analyses on complete aircraft designs."--Page 1.

This book was released on 1950 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of the minimum induced drag of wings having a given lift and a given span is extended to include cases in which the bending moment to be supported by the wing is also given. Expressions for the spanwise load distribution and the minimum drag in terms of the lateral position of the load centroid are given. The results show a 15-percent reduction of the induced drag with a 15-percent increase in span over that for an elliptic loading having the same total lift and bending moment.

This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, grade: A, University of Southampton, course: Computational Aerodynamics, language: English, abstract: Wing-in-ground effect (WIG) vehicles offer an exciting capability to fill the enormous void between speed of an aircraft and the payload capacity of a ship. WIG vehicles would be able to move cargo and passengers faster than a ship and more economical than an aircraft. Ground effect is a phenomenon that occurs on all wings flying close to the ground or a surface. The aim of this project is to investigate the behavior of wings (NACA/DHMTU series) in ground effect (on a fixed/variable terrain) using Fluent CFD package. The NACA 0012 and DHMTU series used in this project are designed specifically to fly in close proximity to the ground. The performance of the NACA/ DHMTU airfoils is examined for the lift and the drag coefficients at different altitudes with varying angle of attack. The results are compared to experimental data that is available to assess the accuracy of the CFD simulation.
