  1. 1. Aircraft Winglet Design

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Hanlin GongZhang; Eric Axtelius; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aerodynamic drag can be decreased with respect to a wing’s geometry, and wingtip devices, so called winglets, play a vital role in wing design. The focus has been laid on studying the lift and drag forces generated by merging various winglet designs with a constrained aircraft wing. READ MORE

  3. 2. Transport Aircraft Conceptual Design

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Albin Karlsson; Anton Lomaeus; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A conceptual design for a transport aircraft has been created, tailored for human-itarian missions along the equator with its home base in the European Union while optimizing for fuel eciency and speed. An initial estimate of the empty weight was made using historical data and Breguet equations, based on a required payload of 60 tonnes and range of 5 500 nautical miles. READ MORE

    University essay from KTH/Aerodynamik

    Author : Roberto Merino Martínez; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Future aircraft generations are required to have higher performance and capacities. This achievement should be fulfilled with the minimum cost and environmental impact. READ MORE

  6. 5. Design of Parametric Winglets and Wing tip devices : A Conceptual Design Approach

    University essay from Fluida och mekatroniska system; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Saravanan Rajendran; [2012]
    Keywords : Winglet; Induced drag; CATIA V5; Knowledge Pattern; Parameterization.;

    Abstract : Winglets being a small structure play an important role in reducing the induced drag in aircraft. Many types of winglets have been designed and their significance in reducing the drag is published. One of the main objectives of this master thesis work is to study about the winglet design and about their contribution in reducing induced drag. READ MORE
