Examples in Context

  1. At first the ballistic model of rocket projectile vertical launch is established, then it researches lift-to-drag ratio and influence of the angle of flight path on the firing range.
  2. Effects of Leading-edge Vortex on Flutter Characteristics of High Sweep Angle Wing Much more increase of maximum lift-to-drag ratio can be obtained with a forward-swept main wing with a small sweepback angle leading edge.
  3. Through comparing the resistance force and maximum lift-to-drag ratio knowable triangle airfoil resistance is larger.
  4. For this vehicle, the wing is sized to meet the re-entry aerodynamic requirements for hypersonic trim, stability, and lift-to-drag ratio, landing velocity.
  5. The subcritical and supercritical computation of Lockheed-AFOSR wing B cases show that nonlinear distribution of thickness and negative twist angle could ameliorate the condition of flow field around the wing, which leads to higher lift-to-drag ratio, the optimization method is effective.
