Features of the flow structure in the boundary layer of a V-shaped flying wing model with controls and a distributed electric propulsion

Abstract

The study was carried out on a model of a small-sized aircraft of the type of a flying wing, which has a V-shape in plan. The structure of the flow on the wing surface was studied depending on the angle of attack and deflection of the controls. Experiments were carried out to study the influence of the work of the distributed electric propulsion on the flow structure on the wing surface. As a result, flow patterns were obtained using the “soot-oil” visualization method for each flow regime.
