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
