This thesis analyzes the aerodynamic performance of a canard-configured forward swept wing aircraft design. Canards are small wings mounted in front of the main wing that act as horizontal stabilizers to control pitch. A forward swept wing directs airflow inward from the wingtips toward the root. The study selects airfoils for the canards, wing root, and wing tip based on criteria to induce earlier stalling at the root than the tips. Graphs of lift, drag, and moment coefficients versus angle of attack are presented for the reference design and two experimental airfoil sets. The second set is chosen for its larger gaps in stalling angles and higher maneuverability potential. In conclusion, a canard-configured forward

For the wing, 18 key parameters are identified that must be determined, such as wing area, aspect ratio, and airfoil shape. The fuselage is designed to house passengers and cargo while withstanding cabin pressure. Key empennage parameters that require determination include the horizontal and vertical tail sizes, sweeps, and chords.

Emirates Team New Zealand has used Ansys simulation software since the late 1990s to optimize their America's Cup yacht designs. As the competition and design rules have evolved, their usage of simulation has expanded, allowing them to evaluate large design spaces and compare many variants virtually before building prototypes. This enables faster innovation. For the 2021 defense, they are using Ansys tools to optimize hydrofoil, hull, sail and structural designs. Extensive virtual testing and parameterization allows evaluation of over 100,000 configurations. Sensor data from physical prototypes helps validate simulations.

A helicopter is an aircraft that is lifted and propelled by one or more horizontal rotors, each
consisting of two or more rotor blades. The main objective of this seminar topic is to study the basic
concepts of helicopter aerodynamics. The forces acting on helicopter i.e. lift, drag, thrust and weight
are considered for developing analytic equations. The main topics that are discussed include blade
motions like blade flapping, feathering and lead-lag. The effect of stall on helicopter blade flapping is
studied and it was noticed that there is a sudden lift drop at this stall condition. It was also found that
dynamic stall occurs due to rapidly changing angle of attack, which inturn affect the air flow over the
airfoil. Blade flapping angle and induced angle of attack are the main parameters concerned with stall.
The theory behind blade element analysis has been inferred in detail. The importance of all these in the
present scenario are also taken into consideration
This document discusses how planes fly through aerodynamic forces. It explains that thrust produced by engines propels the plane forward, while lift forces generated by the wings when air passes over and under them allow the plane to gain altitude and remain airborne. The document also covers the different axes of motion for a plane and how control surfaces like elevators, rudders, and ailerons allow pilots to control pitching, yawing, and rolling movements. Finally, it provides specifications for the Airbus A380 and Dassault Rafale to illustrate different types of modern aircraft.

- Topics covered across two terms like history of flight, aerodynamics, airfoils, and aircraft performance and stability
- A brief history of the development of flight from early attempts to imitate birds to modern airplanes
- Descriptions of key aircraft components like the fuselage, wings, tail assembly, landing gear, and power plants
There are 4 main forces that act on an aircraft in flight: lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift opposes weight and allows the aircraft to fly. Thrust opposes drag and propels the aircraft. Key factors that influence lift include airspeed, wing shape and angle of attack. Proper balance of these forces is required for steady level flight. The document also discusses airfoils, flight control surfaces, Newton's laws of motion, and Bernoulli's principle which are important aerodynamic concepts related to how aircraft produce and control lift.
There are 4 main forces that act on an aircraft in flight: lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift opposes weight to allow flight. Thrust opposes drag to overcome air resistance and allow forward motion. An aircraft's pitch, roll, and yaw are controlled by elevators, ailerons, and rudders respectively. Airfoils generate lift through their interaction with airflow as described by Bernoulli's principle and Newton's laws of motion. Key factors that influence lift are airspeed, angle of attack, and wing design/surface area.
This experiment studied the role of propeller blade rotation in drone flight control. Specifically, it examined the effects of clockwise (CC) and counter-clockwise (CCL) rotation. The experiment tested how varying the speed of individual propeller motors allows drones to maneuver in different ways, such as taking off, landing, moving forward, backward, right, and left. It also explored how propeller blade shape, size, and construction materials like plastic or carbon fiber influence lift generation and flight performance. The results provide insight into how propeller rotation direction controls vertical and horizontal drone motion.

The time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the
force imposed on it. The momentum of a body is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.
ACCELERATION
When two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite
in direction. REACTION

1. States that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static
pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.

12. SCOUTS BSA - AIRFOIL
SUMMARY of how an AIRFOIL produces lift
SLIDE SUB-TITLE
Newton’s third law (ACTION and REACTION) tells us how LIFT and PROPULSION of airplanes are
produced.
Bernoulli discovered that when velocity of a fluid (AIR) is increase at a particular point , the pressure of
the fluid at that particular pint decreases.

In the Google classroom there is a great YouTube video
where a professor explains the finer points and discusses
common misconceptions about how flight works.
This is a higher level of explanation
Remember, Flight is really complicated!
But these basic principals do apply
15. 1. Do the following:
a. Define “aircraft.” Describe some kinds and uses of aircraft today. Explain the
operation of piston, turboprop, and jet engines.
b. Point out on a model airplane the forces that act on an airplane in flight.
c. Explain how an airfoil generates lift, how the primary control surfaces (ailerons,
elevators, and rudder) affect the airplane’s attitude, and how a propeller
produces thrust.

23. SCOUTS BSA – PROPELLER BASICS
How does a Propeller produce thrust?
• Propellers can be typically designed with 2 to 8 blades
• They are designed to be and act as an airfoil. A rotating wing.
• They create forces of thrust to pull or push the airplane through the air.
• They are mounted directly onto the engine crack shaft or to a gear housing shaft.

In aeronautics and aeronautical engineering, camber is the asymmetry between the two acting surfaces of an airfoil, with the top surface of a wing (or correspondingly the front surface of a propeller blade) commonly being more convex (positive camber). An airfoil that is not cambered is called a symmetric airfoil. The benefits of cambering were discovered and first utilized by George Cayley in the early 19th century.[1]
LIFT on an airplane wing can be considered to be the 3 law – reaction force to the downward force of the air.
LIFT on an aircraft wing must be consistent with the Bernoulli’s equation since it is an expression of conservation of energy in that fluid.
Lets see how Orville and Wilbur applied some of these principals towards their successful flight of the powered Wright Flier in 1903.
Point out the balancing act of the location of the

CENTER OF LIFT
And
TAIL DOWN FORCE
Propellers are only suitable for use at subsonic airspeeds mostly below about 480 mph (770 km/h; 420 kn), as above this speed the blade tip speed approaches the speed of sound and local supersonic flow causes high drag, noise and propeller structural problems.
