  1. 11. Investigation of the wing design and endurance of an ultralight electrical aircraft

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Vanda Ericson; Jonathan Palmgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerodynamics; Electrical Aviation; CFD; Endurance; Drag; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis was to explore the conversion of a propeller driven two-seater combustion airplane to an electrical airplane. Four different wing designs were considered. Two variations of Blackwing Sweden AB’s current Blackwing wing (BW), a longer wing (BW-L) and a shorter wing (BW-S), as well as a new wing with a different airfoil (GW). READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis explores and compares traditional and reinforcement learning (RL) methods of performing 2D flight path planning in 3D space. A wide overview of natural, classic, and learning approaches to planning s done in conjunction with a review of some general recurring problems and tradeoffs that appear within planning. READ MORE

  5. 14. Development of a Tool for Inverse Aerodynamic Design and Optimisation of Turbomachinery Aerofoils

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Berkin Kurtulus; [2021]
    Keywords : Aerodynamics; Turbomachinery Airfoil design; Inverse Design Automation; Airfoil Optimization;

    Abstract : The automation of airfoil design process is an ongoing effort within the field of turbo-machinery design, with significant focus on developing new reliable and consistent methods that can meet the needs of the engineers. A wide variety of approaches has been in use for inverse airfoil design process which benefit from theoretical inverse design, statistical methods, empirical discoveries and many other ways to solve the design problem.

  6. 15. Numerical Study on Aerodynamic Drag Reduction on a Rear Wing of a Formula Student Car

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Mahim Ahsan; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The importance of aerodynamics in racing has increased substantially over the past decades. Racing vehicles utilize different aerodynamic devices, to redirect the airflow around the vehicle in a beneficial way. The increase in downforce using an aerodynamic wing package increases drag force. READ MORE
