A Study on Aircraft Anti-Icing Systems
Abstract: Aircraft anti-icing system is one of the key components without which aircraft icing related problems cannot be solved. Considering the long history of aircraft building technologies the involvement of anti-icing system has a remarkable influence over it. Basically there exist two types of aircraft anti-icing systems namely, the first one is electro-thermal anti-icing system the second one is bleed air anti-icing system. For propellers electro-thermal anti-icing system is used and …

Comparative Computational Investigation of Aerofoil Performance with and without Vortex Generators
Abstract: AbstractAircraft with an efficient aerodynamic design is a major concern in current aerospace industries trends, but the flow separation has been playing a predominant role in the aircraft performance reduction and thereby affecting the aerodynamic efficiency. To overcome these problems, vortex generators (vortilon) are fixed on the upper surface of the wing. This paper focused on the aerodynamic performance analysis of available NACA-23012 aerofoil with and without Vortex Generators, for …

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