Impact of High Lift on

Aircraft Performance

• For a 150 Passenger Transport

Aircraft

- A 5% increase in Take-off L/D

,, 15% increase in Payload, or,

,> 11% increase in Range

A

5% increase in Max. Lift at Landing

,, 20% increase in Range

,, 3 Knot Decrease in Approach Speed

• Goal

- Design of Optimum High Lift Systems

with Minimum Complexity

Objective of Current

Program

• Experimental Program Aimed at

Providing a Physical Picture of the

Flow Physics and Quantitative

Turbulence Data of the Interaction of

a High Reynolds Number Wake with a

Flap Element

• Coordinate with Researchers

Developing Computational

Procedures

- Stuart Rogers- NASA Ames

- Kyle Anderson/Russ Rausch- NASA Langley

- Mark Drela - MIT

• Coordinate with NASA Ames

Experiments

- Joe Marvin/George Meteer
