Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aircraft design, and in particular relates to a high-angle-of-attack aircraft capable of reducing flow field asymmetry. Background Art
[0002] Figure 1 Given the existing aircraft structure, the distance between the nose tip A and the wing root leading edge B is long, accounting for 45% to 48% of the fuselage length. The nose is relatively sharp, the angle between the front fuselage ridgeline and the symmetry plane is between 12° and 15°, and the wing leading edge is swept back widely, between 40° and 45°. At large angles of attack, large-scale flow separation will occur on the aircraft surface, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, after the leading edge vortex reaches the main wing surface, it merges with the leading edge vortex that rolls up from the leading edge of the main wing, and breaks up relatively early. These flow separation phenomena are often accompanied by highly unsteady and complex asymmetric vortex flows. The nonlinearity of the aerodynamic force and the longitudinal and lateral coupling become very serious, often accompanied by complex and even uncontrollable flight phenomena such as lateral deviation, side deviation, wing rock, and downstroke, which will have a significant impact on the aircraft's aerodynamic performance. For aircraft with higher maneuverability requirements, since the flight envelope usually needs to include a large angle of attack range, it is more important to pay attention to unsteady flow phenomena at high angles of attack, and to avoid or reduce the asymmetric flow that occurs at high angles of attack as much as possible. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the above problems and change the strength, shape, spatial position, rupture position, etc. of the fringe vortex, the present application provides a high-angle-of-attack aircraft capable of reducing the asymmetry of the flow field, and reshapes the two sidewall surfaces symmetrical along the aircraft's symmetry plane from the nose tip A to the wing root leading edge B, wherein on each sidewall surface, control point C, control point D and control point E are sequentially arranged along the direction from the nose tip A to the wing root leading edge B, the first angle between the sidewall surface from the control point C to the control point D and the aircraft's symmetry plane is greater than the second angle between the sidewall surface from the nose tip A to the control point C and the aircraft's symmetry plane, and the control point D is connected to the wing root leading edge B via a spline curve concave to the aircraft's symmetry plane through the control point E, wherein the control point E is the point closest to the aircraft's symmetry plane.
[0004] Preferably, the first angle is 12° to 15°, and the second angle is 26° to 30°.
[0005] Preferably, the second angle is 28°.
[0006] Preferably, the distance LCA between the projection point of the control point C on the aircraft symmetry plane and the nose tip A is 15%-20% of the distance LBA between the projection point of the wing root leading edge B on the aircraft symmetry plane and the nose tip A; the distance LDA between the projection point of the control point D on the aircraft symmetry plane and the nose tip A is 55%-60% of the distance LBA; and the distance LEA between the projection point of the control point E on the aircraft symmetry plane and the nose tip A is 83%-85% of the distance LBA.
[0007] Preferably, the distance LCA is 18% of the distance LBA; the distance LDA is 58% of the distance LBA; and the distance LEA is 84% of the distance LBA.
[0008] Preferably, the width of the fuselage at the control point E is 80% of the original width of the fuselage at the axial position of the point.
[0009] The present application can effectively improve the propagation angle and shape of the side vortex, thereby changing the interference form between the side vortex and the leading edge vortex of the wing, delaying the vortex breakdown angle of attack, and reducing the asymmetry of the flow, so that the aircraft can avoid various non-command movements as much as possible during flight at a large angle of attack and complete various maneuvers with high quality.

[0018] This application presents a similar Figure 1 Aircraft structure design scheme in layout form, layout and Figure 1 When the vortex is similar and has the above characteristics, the effect of improving the high angle of attack characteristics is more obvious. In the improved scheme, the propagation angle and shape of the leading edge vortex of the front fuselage are significantly changed. After reaching the main wing surface, it does not merge with the leading edge vortex. Instead, the two vortex systems maintain independence and exist separately. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the breaking point of the fringe vortex is greatly pushed back, the pressure distribution characteristics of the entire wing are significantly improved, the asymmetry of the flow field is effectively reduced at large angles of attack, the asymmetric flow phenomenon of the aircraft is improved, and the angle of attack with obvious asymmetry at large angles of attack is increased by more than 4°. Figure 5 The simulation analysis curve shows that the lift increases by more than 10% in the range of 20° to 30° angle of attack. Figure 6 The simulation analysis curve shows that the lateral instability angle is delayed by 2°, and the lateral instability after instability is reduced by more than 30%.
