Understanding the flow behavior around Krueger flaps through the means of CFD simulations
Abstract This study aims to establish the feasibility of Krueger flaps acting as high lift devices on a natural laminar wing aircraft configuration. It is part of the German funded project ‘ULTIMATE’, aiming an aircraft wing design providing fuel savings up to 10% as compared to...
