摘要:
A wing for an aircraft is provided, including at least a first wing portion configured for providing high-lift mild stall characteristics at least at Reynolds numbers in the range between about 0.3*106 and about 2.0*106, and at least a second wing portion comprising a substantially permanently slotted aerofoil arrangement. Also provided are an air vehicle including such wings, a method for operating an aircraft, and a method for designing an aircraft wing.
摘要:
Aerofoil accessories are provided, configured for selective attachment to a wing element, the wing element having an outer facing aerofoil surface and being based on at least one datum aerofoil section. Each accessory provides a modified geometric profile to a datum profile of the at least one aerofoil section when attached to the wing element. The accessories are each configured for having a substantially fixed geometric profile with respect to the at least one datum aerofoil section at least whenever said wing element is airborne with the respective accessory attached to the wing element. The modified geometric profile is such as to provide said wing element with the accessory attached thereto with a desired change in performance relative to a datum performance provided by the wing element absent the accessory. A kit is also provided for enhancing performance of a wing element in off-design conditions. A method is also provided for enhancing performance of a wing element in adverse conditions.

摘要:
A slotted aerofoil configuration is provided in which the leading element thereof is contoured to provide mild stall characteristics. A wing based partially or fully on such an aerofoil, an air vehicle including such wings, and a method for designing an aerofoil are also disclosed.
