| Description | The parameters fuselage pinch glider wing arrangement and fuselage leading edge radius of nine glider configurations were investigated in wind tunnel tests. Laminar separation bubbles were found on strongly recessed fuselages. These separations in the juncture between fuselage and wing are essential in the prevention of harmful aerodynamic drag. Drag reduction was measured with increasing pinch and the wing arrangement in the rear. These results are only valid for laminar flow on the fuselage leading edge. |
