This paper analyzes computationally the flow field for the full geometry model of a commercial passenger airplane, Boeing747-400. The geometric dimension of an airplane was acquired by means of the reverse engineering technique adopting the photo scanning measurement. The steady three-dimensional ...
In contrast, a typical airplane provides weight support using wings and thrust using propellers or jets. The aerodynamics of flapping wings varies as a function of advance ratio (J), which is the ratio of forward translational velocity of the bird to the velocity of the wingtips (B). Shown ...
External aerodynamics is the study of flow around solid objects of various shapes. Evaluating the lift and drag on an airplane, the shock waves that form in front of the nose of a rocket or the flow of air over a hard drive head are examples of external aerodynamics. Internal aerodynamics ...
of the craft. Large wings usually generate a lot of lift, but they also produce a lot of drag. In designing airplane wings, engineers need to take into account such factors as the speed and altitude at which the plane will fly, so that they can find a wing shape that balances lift ...
Due to the high velocity of the fly, the airplane has been widely developed for transportation for a long-distance journey. The advantages of flight in the sky have motivated the government to use this to fight against their enemies. Hence, various fighters have been invented that move at a...
How can a ball balance on a stream of air? How can an airplane wing keep an airplane from falling? How can a sailboat sail into the wind? To explain these things, we have come up with elaborate physics and mathematical models such as theNavier-Stokes equations, and theBernoulli principle...

a closer look The two primary forces in aerodynamics are lift and drag. Lift refers to (usually upward) forces perpendicular to the direction of motion of an object traveling through the air. For example, airplane wings are designed so that their movement through the air creates an area of ...
If both of these forces remain equal, the airplane will not speed up or slow down. Before we get into the principle that explains how lift is created, let’s look at some of the terminology which will be used in this section. A line drawn from the leading edge to the trailing edge ...
They were specifically developed to optimize performance of a single-engine, canard airplane with the engine in front. Some are applicable to other types of airplanes. The specific improvements are: locating the canard so the main spar passes in front of the engine; mounting the front of the ...
