Abstract

Aerodynamics in Wing design is very important while designing the wing. The design and analysis of the wings of an aircraft is one of the principal applications of the science of aerodynamics, which is a branch of fluid mechanics. The wing may be considered as the most important component of an aircraft. The primary function of the wing is to generate sufficient lift force or simply lift (L). However, the wing has two other productions, namely drag force or drag (D) and nose-down pitching moment (M). By using flaps, slates, winglets, anhedral-dihedral wing angles drag or drag force can be reduced. New design of wing not only gives more control on aeroplane and increase stability but also increases fuel efficiency.
