ABSTRACT
The study focuses on investigating the impact of wing location on the aerodynamic
performance of an airplane, employing computational analysis through XFLR5 software.
The positioning of wings plays a crucial role in determining the aircraft's efficiency,
stability, and overall flight characteristics. Utilizing XFLR5, a powerful tool for airfoil and
wing analysis, the research involves simulating various wing configurations and their
effects on lift, drag, and overall aerodynamic behavior.
The methodology involves systematically altering the wing location and assessing
key aerodynamic parameters. By analyzing lift-to-drag ratios, stall characteristics, and
other performance indicators, the study aims to optimize wing placement for enhanced
flight performance. XFLR5 allows for the visualization of aerodynamic forces and
moments, providing valuable insights into the intricate relationship between wing location
and aircraft dynamics.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Importance of XFLR5:
Flying Wing Design and Analysis XFLR5 is software that enables 2D and 3D
aerodynamic analysis of bodies and bearing areas, separately or jointly. The software makes
analysis for small Reynolds numbers.
1
parameters to achieve specific aerodynamic goals, such as maximizing lift or
minimizing drag.
6. Inverse Design: The software offers inverse design capabilities, enabling users to
specify desired aerodynamic characteristics, and the software will attempt to
generate an airfoil or wing shape that meets those criteria.
7. Graphical User Interface (GUI): XFLR5 features a user-friendly graphical
interface, making it accessible to users who may not have extensive programming
or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) experience. The GUI facilitates the input
of parameters and visualization of results.
8. Vortex Panel Method: The underlying computational method in XFLR5 is often
based on a vortex panel method. This numerical approach is used to model the
aerodynamic forces acting on airfoils and wings.
9. Stability and Control Analysis: XFLR5 can be used to assess the stability and
control characteristics of an aircraft. This is crucial for ensuring that the aircraft is
controllable and stable under different operating conditions.
10. Educational Use: XFLR5 is commonly used as an educational tool in aerospace
engineering programs to teach students about aerodynamics and aircraft design.

1.5 Airfoil Theory:
The airfoil theory is a fundamental concept in aerodynamics that explains the
generation of lift by aircraft wings. An airfoil is the cross-sectional shape of a wing, blade,
or any other body designed to produce lift when moving through air. Here are the key points
related to airfoil theory:
1. Airfoil Shape: Airfoils are designed with a specific shape to achieve efficient lift.
The upper surface is usually curved, while the lower surface is relatively flat. This
shape is crucial for exploiting Bernoulli's principle and creating a pressure
difference.
2. Bernoulli’s Principle: According to Bernoulli's principle, as the speed of a fluid
(such as air) increases, its pressure decreases. In the context of an airfoil, the shape
causes the air on the upper surface to travel faster than the air on the lower surface,
creating lower pressure on top and higher pressure on the bottom, resulting in lift.
3. Leading Edge: The leading edge is the front edge of the airfoil, facing into the
oncoming air. It is a critical part of the airfoil's shape and can be either rounded or
sharp, depending on the specific design requirements.
4. Trailing Edge: The trailing edge is the rear edge of the airfoil, opposite the leading
edge. It is also an essential aspect of the airfoil's design, and its shape influences the
aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil.
3
5. Chord Line: The chord line is an imaginary straight line connecting the leading
and trailing edges of the airfoil. The length of this line is the chord length, and it
serves as a reference for various aerodynamic calculations.
6. Camber: Camber is the curvature of the airfoil's upper and lower surfaces. An
airfoil can be either cambered (curved) or symmetric (flat). Camber contributes to
lift generation by creating pressure differences between the upper and lower
surfaces.
7. Angle of Attack: The angle of attack is the angle between the chord line of the
airfoil and the oncoming air. It plays a crucial role in determining the lift and drag
forces acting on the airfoil.
8. Upper Surface and Lower Surface: The airfoil has an upper surface and a lower
surface. Air flows over these surfaces, and the pressure distribution between them
creates lift. The shape of these surfaces, in conjunction with the camber, contributes
to the overall aerodynamic performance.
9. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Advanced tools like Computational Fluid
Dynamics are used to simulate and analyze the complex airflow around airfoils.
This helps in designing and optimizing airfoil shapes for specific performance
requirements.
Understanding airfoil theory is essential for designing efficient and stable aircraft.
Engineers use this theory to optimize wing shapes, ensuring a balance between lift,
drag, and other aerodynamic factors for safe and effective flight.

Fig 2: Different Types of Airfoil Designs
1. Symmetrical Airfoil: A symmetrical airfoil has the same shape on the top and
bottom surfaces. The chord line (an imaginary line from the leading edge to the
trailing edge) is centered, and the camber (curvature) is symmetric. Symmetrical
airfoils are often used in applications where lift is not the primary concern, such as
in the tail surfaces of many aircraft.
2. Asymmetrical (Cambered) Airfoil: An asymmetrical or cambered airfoil has a
curved shape, with the upper surface typically more curved than the lower surface.
This design creates different lengths for the paths air travels over and under the
wing, generating lift. Most wings used in aviation, like those on airplanes, are
asymmetrical airfoils.
3. Clark Y Airfoil: The Clark Y airfoil is a commonly used symmetrical airfoil with
a flat bottom surface and a curved upper surface. It is often used in general aviation
and light aircraft due to its stable and predictable aerodynamic characteristics.
4. NACA Airfoil: The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)
developed a series of airfoil shapes with specific characteristics. NACA airfoils are
identified by a numerical code indicating the design parameters. For example, the
NACA 2412 airfoil has a camber of 2%, located 40% of the chord from the leading
edge.
5
5. Supercritical Airfoil: The supercritical airfoil is designed to delay the onset of sock
waves and reduce drag at high subsonic speeds. It features a flattened upper surface,
and it's often used in high-speed transport aircraft.
6. Eppler Airfoil: Developed by German aerodynamicist Richard Eppler, Eppler
airfoils are a series of airfoil shapes known for their low drag characteristics. They
are often used in sailplane (glider) design.
7. Selig Airfoil: Selig airfoils are a series of airfoil shapes developed by Dr. Michael
Selig. These airfoils are commonly used in experimental and light aircraft, offering
a range of characteristics suitable for various applications.
8. Symmetrical Tapered Airfoil: A symmetrical tapered airfoil combines the features
of a symmetrical airfoil with a tapered wing planform. This design is often used in
high-performance aircraft, providing good aerodynamic characteristics over a wide
range of angles of attack.
9. Elliptical Airfoil: An elliptical airfoil is shaped like an ellipse and is theoretically
the most aerodynamically efficient in terms of lift distribution. However, achieving
a true elliptical shape in practice can be challenging.
10. Blended Winglet Airfoil: Blended winglets are not traditional airfoils but are worth
mentioning. They are wingtip extensions designed to reduce induced drag by
redistributing the wingtip vortices. Blended winglets often feature a smoothly
blended shape that improves aerodynamic efficiency.
These are just a few examples of the many airfoils used in aviation and aerodynamics.
The selection of an airfoil depends on the specific requirements of the aircraft and its
intended application. Engineers consider factors such as lift, drag, stability, and
control to choose the most suitable airfoil for a particular design.

Fig 3: Different Types of Wings

6. Variable Sweep Wing:- Variable sweep wings, also known as swing wings, can
change their sweep angle in flight. This feature allows aircraft to optimize their
wing configuration for different flight regimes, such as low-speed takeoff and
landing or high-speed cruise. The F-14 Tomcat is an example of an aircraft with
variable sweep wings.
7. Biplane:- A biplane consists of two sets of wings, one above the other, connected
by struts and wires. Biplanes were common in early aviation but have largely been
replaced by monoplanes due to increased drag. They are still used in some
specialized applications.
8. Triplane:- A triplane has three sets of wings, arranged one above the other.
Triplanes were used in some historical aircraft, notably during World War I. They
provide increased lift but are less common in modern aviation.
9. Swept-Back Wings:- Swept-back wings have a backward angle, but less extreme
than true swept wings. This design is often used in subsonic and transonic aircraft
to improve stability and control.
10. Forward Swept Wing:- In contrast to swept-back wings, forward-swept wings
have a forward angle. This design has been explored for its potential structural and
aerodynamic benefits, but it is less common due to challenges in structural design.
The choice of wing type depends on various factors, including the intended use of the
aircraft, speed requirements, and desired flight characteristics. Engineers carefully
consider these factors to design wings that optimize lift, drag, stability, and control for
a particular application.
8
Fig 4:Types of Wing Locations
1. High-Wing Configuration:- Wings are mounted on the upper part of the fuselage.
This configuration provides better visibility from the cockpit, facilitates easier
loading and unloading of cargo or passengers, and can offer good stability.
2. Low-Wing Configuration:- Wings are mounted on the lower part of the fuselage.
This configuration can provide better aerodynamic efficiency, especially at higher
speeds, and is often seen in high-performance and military aircraft.
3. Mid-Wing Configuration:- Wings are mounted at the midpoint of the fuselage.
This configuration is less common but can provide a balance between the
characteristics of high-wing and low-wing designs.
The choice of wing configuration depends on various factors such as the aircraft's
intended purpose, speed requirements, maneuverability needs, and design considerations.
Different configurations offer different advantages and trade-offs, and engineers carefully
select the configuration that best suits the aircraft's mission profile.
9
3. Wing Shape:- The shape of the wing is crucial for generating lift. Wings are
designed with an airfoil shape, typically curved on the top and flatter on the bottom.
This shape enhances the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces,
contributing to lift.
4. Angle of Attack:- The angle at which the wing meets the oncoming air, known as
the angle of attack, also influences lift. Increasing the angle of attack can increase
lift up to a certain point, after which the flow of air may become turbulent, and lift
decreases.
5. Other Factors:- Factors like air density, wing area, and airspeed also play a role
in lift generation. Higher airspeed and lower air density generally lead to increased
lift.
1. Lift:- Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the
airplane in the air. Lift is generated by every part of the airplane, but most of the lift
on a normal airliner is generated by the wings. Lift is a mechanical aerodynamic
force produced by the motion of the airplane through the air.
2. Drag:- Drag is the aerodynamic force that opposes an aircraft’s motion through the
air. Drag is generated by every part of the airplane (even the engines!).

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
The study of wing location and its impact on the aerodynamic performance of
airplanes is a multifaceted field that has garnered extensive attention from researchers and
engineers.
The positioning of wings relative to the fuselage plays a pivotal role in determining
crucial aerodynamic factors such as lift, drag, stability, and maneuverability. Research by
Torenbeek and Wittenberg (2009) [1] has explored the effects of wing sweep, emphasizing
how the sweep angle influences lift and drag distribution. Phillips (2013) [2] and Raymer
(2012) [3] have delved into the intricate aerodynamic interactions at the wing-fuselage
junction, shedding light on drag and lift characteristics.
For aircraft operating in transonic and supersonic regimes, Dowell and Hayes
provide valuable considerations. Moreover, Sobester and Forrester discuss optimization
techniques for determining optimal wing locations. Cutting-edge research by Barlow and
Rae (1997) [7] and Mark Drela (2014) [8] explores innovative wing designs, showcasing
the continuous quest for improved aerodynamic efficiency.

report images are given below.
Rectangle Wing:
23
Fig 10.2: The figure shows High-Wing Configuration in Rectangular wing
24
A mid-wing configuration with a rectangular wing strikes a balance between
aerodynamic performance and structural considerations. It offers good stability, payload
flexibility, and aerodynamic efficiency across various flight conditions, making it a popular
choice for modern aircraft in commercial, business, and military applications.
In a low wing configuration with a rectangular wing, the wings are attached closer
to the bottom of the fuselage. This design offers good aerodynamic efficiency, stability, and
improved ground visibility for pilots during takeoff and landing. It requires robust wing-
to-fuselage attachments and has specific ground handling considerations.
25
Fig 10.5: The figure shows comparison between High, Mid, Low wings
Configuration in Rectangular wing
High wing configuration places wings on top, offering good visibility and stability,
ideal for light aircraft. Mid wing is a compromise, balancing visibility, stability, and
performance, common in fighter jets and business planes. Low wing has wings beneath the
fuselage, enhancing ground visibility, maneuverability, and efficiency, often seen in
airliners and sport aircraft. Each configuration suits different needs based on visibility,
stability, and aerodynamic factors.
26
Sweptback Wing:
In a high wing configuration with swept-back wings, the wings are mounted on the
upper fuselage and angled backward. This design boosts aerodynamic efficiency, stability,
and payload capacity. Passengers enjoy clear views, and the high placement provides ample
ground clearance for engines and landing gear.

airplane is a critical and complex aspect of aircraft design. The position of the wings
significantly influences the overall aerodynamic characteristics, affecting key parameters
such as lift, drag, stability, and maneuverability. Through systematic investigation and
analysis, researchers and engineers can gain valuable insights into the optimal wing
placement for different types of aircraft and missions.
