CFD Analysis of Aircraft Wings

Aircraft wing which is among most important part for any aircraft to be reliable for increasing its efficiency. Among different shaped aircraft wings used in different aircraft as per aircraft’s uses and function also as per load carrying requirement. To include the research in different shaped wings here 1. Rectangular wing, 2. Trapezoidal wing is considered for study. Different aircraft wings have maximum lift force at different angle of attack. The research includes in increasing the lift force with accordingly minimizing the drag force at lower possible extent. The wings been tested on different angle of attack in CFD software and along with that also same actual 3-D printed wing using PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable thermoplastic by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) tested in wind tunnel under same conditions and parameters as of CFD to find maximum lift which is between 8° to 15° as per standards. The results to be considered to analyze the critical angle of attack where maximum lift is generated along with it analyzing the difference between the results obtained from CFD analysis and test conducted in wind tunnel.
