Computational Analysis of Blended Winglet Model Performance by Varying Cant Angle

Abstract

This work focuses on structural modeling and analysis of aircraft winglet control surfaces. In aerodynamic engineering, reducing drag is an important challenge. To reduce drag a fin device that is placed vertically in the angle set in the wing of the plane. Winglet design reduces fuel consumption by reducing the drag of the aircraft and will make the aircraft more stable during the flight, will also give the aircraft engine more time to reduce the load on the engine thrust life. The goal is to design and simulate a winglet aircraft model using software such as CATIA V5-which is used to build fin models and ANSYS CFX solver is used to test and simulate model fins. With winglets without fins it analyzes change the inclination angles, the results are compared and plotted. Fins are an important part of an aircraft that reduces the amount of drag and fuel consumption by using less energy while reducing wing vortexes.
