Wind Tunnel Testing of Passive High-Lift Systems

Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

This paper presents experimental results obtained with passive high lift systems using a combination of smart flap kinematics and vortex generators. A mid-scale 2.5D wind tunnel model based on DLR-F15 is tested in INCAS Subsonic Wind Tunnel, swept at 30 deg, incorporating the slat, 54 flap/VG/chord extension configurations and test matrix, developed by Dassault-Aviation. INCAS designed, manufactured and instrumented components to be added to the existing INCAS-F15 2D wind tunnel model. The test campaign was completed and results are presented.
