Abstract:Research on shock wave drag-reducing using two dimensional and three dimensional bumps is performed, including comparisons on wings of large aircraft. The mechanism of bump drag-reducing is researched via supercritical airfoil profile, and geometrical shape and location of bump are optimized. The research results show that location, shape and serial distribution of bump have significant effects on drag-reducing for wings. Finally, the drag-reducing technique using bumps is applied to the large aircraft. As a result, the presented technique reduces shock wave drag to a great extent, increases the ratio of lift to drag, and improves aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft.
