ABSTRACT

NACA LS (1) airfoil is an airfoil profile widely used in many vehicle design
including aircraft. Airfoils are selected mainly based on their aerodynamic
characteristics. In this project, NACA LS (1) 0417 airfoil is chosen and aerodynamic
modification is done for multi element design.

The following graphs and values are plotted and tabulated neatly:

Cl vs AoA , Cd vs AoA, Cm vs AoA, L/D vs AoA , Positions of centre of pressure-

(X-CoP,Y-CoP) ,where Cl - Coefficient of lift, Cd – Coefficient of drag, Cm –
Coefficient of moment about leading edge , L – lift force, D – drag force, AoA –
Angle of Attack, Cp – Coefficient of Pressure and x/c – port distances from the
leading edge, y/c-normalized co-ordinate axis perpendicular to chord of airfoil.
These aerodynamic quantities are compared with the base-line airfoil.
