XFLR5 Project
Airplane Wing Design and Analysis with XFLR5
2019
XFLR5 is a subsonic airfoil design and analysis tool made from XFoil with additional 3D capabilities. In this undergraduate project, the tested wing platforms share the same Clark-Y airfoil at a 5° angle of attack but vary in aspect ratio, surface area, chord length, and a range of Reynold’s Number from 250,000 to 350,000. The computed lift and drag coefficients are plotted to provide insight on the aerodynamic abilities of the wings.
-
Designed 4 different 3D wing shapes using a Clark-Y airfoil
-
Analyzed the effects of varying chord length, aspect ratio, and Reynold's Number on induced drag and angle of attack of the wings
