Comparative Analysis of Airfoil-Flap Configurations to Determine Aerodynamic Efficiency in Heavy-Lift Cargo Aircraft
Heavy-lift cargo aircraft operate under strict aerodynamic constraints due to high wing loading, large gross weight, and the need to balance low-speed lift with cruise efficiency. This study presents a comparative aerodynamic analysis of NASA Phase-2 supercritical airfoil–flap configurations for heavy-lift cargo aircra...
