Aerodynamic Optimisation of Aircraft Components for Fuel-Efficient Aircraft: Progress in Flaps, Winglets and Engine Configuration

With the rise in demand for fuel-efficient aircraft, many people have been exploring how to reduce aerodynamic drag to lower fuel consumption and emissions. The three main parts that affect the aerodynamics and fuel economy of the aircraft are flaps, winglets and engine settings. Aerodynamic mechanisms and Design Trade...
