Abstract

Analysis of the aerodynamic performance of an airfoil cross-section is very necessary to determine the maximum lift force that occurs and the forces acting on the airfoil cross-section such as Drag Force and Lift Force. In this study, a series airfoil cross-section design, a symmetrical airfoil, was tested using Fe software with input of fluid velocity, viscosity and density so that the distribution of velocity and pressure distribution along the airfoil can be known. To obtain maximum performance from this airfoil, different angles of attack are given so that later the maximum angle of attack is obtained to produce maximum lift as well. From the velocity contour and pressure contour read in Fe software along the upper and lower surfaces of the airfoil, the average price is taken and then plotted in a graph to show the magnitude of the lift force and drag force that occurs and from the velocity distribution and temperature distribution, the drag coefficient and lift coefficient prices are obtained. This research is expected to be useful in the world of aerodynamics, especially those related to aircraft wingsso that this modeling can maximize the flight performance of an aircraft and enable the development of aircraft wing designs that are in accordance with the selection of total design with NACA standards.
