Abstract
In the context of the global aviation industry's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050, improving aircraft energy efficiency has become a crucial target of modern aerodynamic design. This report systematically studies aerodynamic optimization and energy consumption reduction from three key aspects. Namely, airfoil parameter influence, bionic flight inspired by albatross dynamic features, and energy feasibility evaluation of supersonic airliners. Based on Bernoulli's principle and aerodynamic drag theory, this research analyzes how aspect ratio and airfoil camber affect lift-drag performance. A bionic low-energy flight strategy for unmanned aerial vehicles is proposed by imitating the high-efficiency gliding mechanism of albatrosses. Meanwhile, a cruise energy consumption model is established to assess the energy characteristics and application potential of supersonic civil aircraft. Results show that increasing wing aspect ratio, adopting bionic adaptive deformation, and optimizing cruise routes can effectively reduce aerodynamic drag and fuel consumption. This study provides theoretical support and practical references for the design of high-efficiency, low-emission aircraft.
Global standards for vehicle energy consumption and emissions are becoming increasingly strict. Aerodynamic optimisation has become a key technology to improve fuel efficiency, extend the driving range of electric vehicles and enhance vehicle driving stability. Data shows that every 10% reduction in aerodynamic drag co...
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...

Under increased international requirements for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the energy efficiency of maritime transport, the analysis of operational parameters affecting fuel consumption and propulsion performance has become particularly important. Propeller slip, as a parameter characterizing the lo...
As the vehicle speed increases, the impact of aerodynamic resistance on vehicle energy consumption becomes increasingly significant, with the vast majority coming from the pressure difference resistance caused by the low-pressure recirculation zone at the rear. This article systematically summarizes the core fluid dyna...
