ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF FLOW TRANSITION OVER THE WINGS OF THE BLADE DEMONSTRATOR
R. Larsson, Saab Aeronautics, Sweden
This paper describes the Saab flow transition analysis of a BLADE flight-test. It shows the methods and results based on geometries and transition lines given by AIRBUS and DLR. The Saab wing concept has a potential to reduce the total drag with about 9 % for typical A320 like aircraft.
