Abstract

Increase in the lift of an aircraft will widen its applicability. In this paper, the effects of in?creasing the lift and flow characteristics around a single airfoil with the Gumey flap are studied by experi?mental methods of surface pressure, boundary-layer and wake measurments. The experimental results indi?cate that the effect of Gumey flap in increasing the lift is closely related with the height of the flap. Gumey flap can increase the lift coefficient of an airfoil to 53 % , when a = 8° and height = 3 % c ?
