A 2d aerodynamic study on morphing of the naca 2412 aerofoil

Abstract: This paper investigates the potential of modifications of the NACA 2412 aerofoil geometry which could be implemented as a morphing wing in the Cessna 172SP. A 2D study on three morphing configurations: landing, take-off and stall maneuvering was conducted. The new geometries were designed using XFLR5. The initial aerodynamics characteristics were computed using XFOIL and compared to that of NACA 2412 in the Cessna 172SP. A selected configuration (landing) was tested at the University of Brighton wind tunnel fa… Show more

“…According to a work by S. La et al [47] wing morphing can be classified into three categories: in-plane morphing, airfoil morphing and out-of-plane morphing (Figure 4). In this work we are going to focus only on the airfoil morphing concept that means changes in the shape (camber rate and camber thickness) in a two dimension problem (Figure 4b) Some papers address only the aerodynamic study of an airfoil shape modifications, leaving the problem of design and manufacturing to other researchers [22] Other works investigate the mechanisms, focusing on the nature of the design, the features of the materials, the implementation and testing methodologies as well as the effects of morphing in flight. Effective directional control of an airplane demands adjustments to the angle of attack of the wings.…”
