Determine Aerodynamic Characteristics for FX63-137 Aerofoil by Using Subsonic Wind Tunnel

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is primarily concentrated with determining aerodynamic characteristics and choosing the best angle of attack at a maximum lift and low drag for the FX 63-137 aerofoil at a low Reynolds number and a speed of 20m/s and 30m/s, by using subsonic wind tunnel through manufacturing the aerofoil by aluminum alloy using a CNC machine. The proposed methodology is divided into several stages. Firstly, manufacturing the aerofoil using an aluminum alloy. Secondly, the testing process is carried out using subsonic wind tunnel. Thirdly, the results are displayed and compared with results produced from related works, in order to find out the best angle of attack at a maximum lift.
