Abstract

This paper covers the results of the first of a series of four wind tunnel tests in the framework of the German R&T project HICON (new concepts for high-lift configurations). HICON covers the topics technology integration, flight physics, flight mechanics and noise emissions. The test were performed in DNW's low speed wind tunnel NWB. The objective of this test was to investigate the aerodynamic performance (forces, moments, etc.) of a range of advanced high lift devices/modifications in a multidiscipline environment. Simultaneously acoustic measurements were made with a 96 channel microphone array allowing for source localisation. Both types of data sets obtained at the same time allow for an enhanced understanding of noise generation and making the data suitable for a subsequent exploitation towards low noise design trends with respect to complete aircraft conditions.
