Resumo: This work goal is to achieve a better flight performance and to support the loading of the highest payload possible. The aerodynamics sector works to improve the aircraft aerodynamic efficiency; therefore, the aerodynamicist looks for the best solution to contribute to the aircraft efficiency by reducing drag forces. The induced drag comes from the lift force, it is related to the escape vortices which occur at the wing tips and it is the most relevant drag component. The use of structural components, as winglets, helps to reduce these vortices and the total aircraft drag. In the context of the SAE Brazil AeroDesign competition, the use of these components can support the project requirements due to the regulatory restrictions. The methodology employed was a simulation using the ANSYS CFX® software for wings modeled with different winglet configurations and the same boundary conditions to verify the best application for the studied wing. The winglet dihedral angle was set at 45°, the strings were maintained and the winglet height was used as a parameter. In the simulations, the wing attack angle was varied to obtain the variation of the drag force. With the obtained results, it was possible to verify that the wings lift forces with h=10% of the half-span winglet have lower values of drag force and present higher values of lift force, for all the analyzed angles, with a variation of up to 6 N of lift force, regarding to the wing without winglet. It is concluded the possibility to observe an improvement in the performance of the wing with the application of the winglet, in the above-mentioned context, and the compensation of a higher efficiency can help competition teams to carry more load on the aircraft due to the lift increase, and to assist the aircraft takeoff and landing handling.

O setor de aerodinâmica atua na melhoria da eficiência aerodinâmica da aeronave, portanto, o aerodinamicista procura a melhor solução que contribua para a eficácia da aeronave, tal como a redução das forças de arrasto. O arrasto induzido provém da força de sustentação e relaciona-se com os vórtices de fuga que surgem nas pontas da asa, além de ser o componente do arrasto que apresenta maior relevância comparado aos demais. A utilização de componentes estruturais, como winglets, auxilia na redução desses vórtices e na redução do arrasto total da aeronave. No contexto da competição SAE Brasil AeroDesign, o emprego destes componentes pode atender aos requisitos do projeto, visto as restrições de regulamento. A metodologia empregada foi a simulação utilizando o software ANSYS CFX® para asas modeladas com diferentes configurações de winglet e mesmas condições de contorno, no intuito de verificar a melhor aplicação para a asa em estudo. Fixou-se o ângulo de diedro do winglet em 45°, manteve as cordas e utilizou a altura do winglet como parâmetro a ser estudado. Nas simulações, variou-se o ângulo de ataque da asa para obter a variação da força de arrasto. Nos resultados obtidos ´foi possível verificar que as forças de sustentação das asas com winglet de h=10% da semi envergadura, além de possuir valores menores de força de arrasto, apresentam valores superiores de força de sustentação, para todos os ângulos analisados, com uma variação de até mais de 6 N de força de sustentação em relação a asa sem winglet. Conclui-se que foi possível observar uma melhoria de desempenho da asa com a aplicação do winglet, no contexto do AeroDesign, e que a compensação no ganho de eficiência pode auxiliar nas equipes de competição a levarem mais carga na aeronave, devido ao aumento de sustentação, e, também, auxiliar nas manobras de decolagem e pouso da aeronave.Universidade Federal de Viçosa - UFV2021-10-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/article/view/1323110.18540/jcecvl7iss4pp13231-01-13eThe Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; Vol. 7 No. 4 (2021); 13231-01-13eThe Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; Vol. 7 Núm. 4 (2021); 13231-01-13eThe Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; v. 7 n. 4 (2021); 13231-01-13e2527-1075reponame:Revista de Engenharia Química e Químicainstname:Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)instacron:UFVengporhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/article/view/13231/6919https://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/article/view/13231/6920Copyright (c) 2021 The Journal of Engineering and Exact Scienceshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbosa, Hygor Vaz de SouzaCampos, Júlio Cesar CostaSiqueira, Antonio Marcos de Oliveira Hilário, Caio VieiraFaria, Natália de OliveiraDias, Bruno de AlmeidaMoreira, Pedro Henrique Barbosa Contin2022-03-15T20:28:56Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufv.br:article/13231Revistahttp://www.seer.ufv.br/seer/rbeq2/index.php/req2/indexONGhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/oaijcec.journal@ufv.br||req2@ufv.br2446-94162446-9416opendoar:2022-03-15T20:28:56Revista de Engenharia Química e Química - Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)false
