Propulsive Wing

About this project

This Study, investigates the possibility and the benefits of using a cross-flow fan embedded in an airfoil for simultaneous circulation control and thrust generation. In the propulsive wing concept, a cross flow fan is placed near the trailing edge of an airfoil section. When the fan starts to operate, the flow is drawn from the suction surface, provided by energy through the cross-flow fan and expelled out of the airfoil trailing edge
