Project Description: Elliptical distribution of load over a wing generates the smallest drag due to lift and it also creates a uniform downwash angle downstream of a wing. Distributed propulsion emanating from a rectangular wing generates a uniform downwash but it is not known whether it changes the load over it, thus minimizing the induced drag.
Work Description:
- Measurements of forces and pressures in a wind tunnel, help in particle velocimetry measurements and analysis of the data
