  Studies on Thick Aerofoils at Subsonic Speeds for a Civil Transport Wing

  By Manjunath I.B., Venkatesh M. Kulkarni, Mallik Prasad N.S., Pradeep G.V.

  Abstract: Airfoils are the most important elements of an aircraft wing, having a chord length a camber and a thickness distribution. Traditionally, airfoils were being developed by empirical methods taking considerable support from wind tunnel testing. The ratio of lift to drag indicates the efficiency of an aerofoil. The purpose of this study is to adequately acquaint, as a first step, with a validated vertex lattice method code, the X-foil for …
