Optimization of multi-element airfoil settings considering ice accretion effect

Almost half of all flight accidents caused by inflight icing occur at the approach and landing phases when high-lift devices are deployed. The present study focuses on the optimization of an ice-tolerant multi-element airfoil. Dual-objective optimization is carried out with critical horn-shaped ice accumulated during the holding phase. The optimization results show that the present optimization method significantly enhances the iced-state and clean-state performance. The optimal multi-element airfoil has a larger deflection angle and wider gap at the slat and the flap compared with the baseline configuration. The sensitivity of each design parameter is analyzed, which verifies the robustness of the design. The design is further assessed when ice is accreted during the approach and landing phases, which also shows performance improvement.     

基于柔顺机构的新型可变形机翼设计方法研究

机翼翼型变体技术可以根据任务和环境自适应地改变机翼形状、厚度、弯度等重要参数,使飞机在不同飞行状态下都能取得较理想的气动特性。柔顺机构是实现机翼蒙皮光滑变形的驱动装置,相比传统液压机构具备质量特性好的优势。采用鱼骨型柔性钢架与四连杆机构实现了机翼前缘上下蒙皮向内收缩、前缘形状由钝变尖的弹性变形过程。通过设计“撞块”机构实现驱动行程的有效分解,解决了前缘尖端开口处蒙皮回收与机翼变形控制所需的驱动行程不一致的内在矛盾。变形后翼型与目标翼型误差最大位置不超过4 mm,变形过程中结构最大应力小于材料许用应力值。相比传统采用纯液压机构驱动的变形机翼设计方案,该基于柔顺机构的变体机翼结构减质14.1%。
