Induced Drag Reduction of an Airplane Using Local Twist, Panel Method Verification

Abstract: The objective of this work is to modify the wing of the Unmanned Airplane of Ecological Conservation adding wing twist in order to reduce induced drag at a design lift coefficient using a method based on the lifting-line theory, and test such modification using two different three-dimensional panel method codes. The aircraft is a small airplane designed to make daily patrols over petroleum extraction zones. A linear washout distribution between the boom and the wing tip was chosen for the ANCE wing. The optimu… Show more
