Abstract

In this study, analyzed the aerodynamic characteristics of Kline-Fogleman airfoils and wings with those more efficiency at low Reynolds number. It was found that lift to drag ratio is enhanced in the range of Reynolds number below $2.4{\times}10^5$, especially, can be improved up to 26% at Reynolds number is $1{\times}10^4$. It was confirmed that the most advantage case in terms of lift-to-drag ratio is Middle case and lift-to-drag ratio is improved to 20% at 80% of the wing area is Kline-Folgeman airfoil. At this time, endurance time increase to 12%. Also taking the structural stability of the wing and lift-to-drag improvement into account, designed to be from 50% to 80% the size of the Kline-Fogleman Airfoil would be advantageous.

본 연구에서는 저 레이놀즈수에서의 Kline-Fogleman 익형과 이를 적용한 날개의 공력특성을 분석하였다. 레이놀즈수 $2.4{\times}10^5$ 이하 영역에서 양항비가 향상됨을 확인하였으며, 특히 레이놀즈수 $1{\times}10^4$에서 양항비가 26% 향상되었다. 양항비 측면에서 Kline-Fogleman 익형이 날개 중앙에 위치하는 것이 가장 유리하며, 전체 날개에 대한 Kline-Fogleman 익형의 면적이 80%일 때 양항비가 20% 증가함을 확인하였다. 이 때 항속시간은 12% 향상되었다. 또한 날개의 구조적 안정성과 양항비 향상률을 고려하였을 때 Kline-Fogleman 익형의 면적을 50%에서 80%사이로 설계하는 것이 유리할 것으로 판단된다.
