Control Surfaces Located on the Aircraft Wing

Certain conditions must be met in order for the aircraft to remain in the air and for this to continue in a stable manner. In order to stay in the air, airplanes need a lift force equal to their total weight and in the opposite direction. Airplanes produce this lift force thanks to their wings,Continue reading “Control Surfaces Located on the Aircraft Wing”

What is Mesh Structure

When we look at the structural analysis and flow analysis programs, we see that it is a structure that works by solving the equations related to the problem to be solved by numerical methods. Here, the input values ​​and properties differ for each part of the geometry, and iteratively solved with numerical methods and aContinue reading “What is Mesh Structure”

What is Lift Force and How Is It Formed

When the aerodynamic forces are examined in 2 dimensions the force in the z direction, with respect to the aviation axis system, is called the lift force, and the force in the x direction is called the drag force. In this article, we will focus on the lift force in the z direction. Before talkingContinue reading “What is Lift Force and How Is It Formed”

Aerodynamics 2021 Fall Term Project: Thin Airfoil Theory Application on NACA 1609 and Comparing With ANSYS Fluent CFD

Greetings everyone. This time, I wanted to share with you my Aerodynamics course project assignment that I took in the Fall semester of 2021. In this project, I found the margins of error by comparing the Thin Airfoil Theory calculations and 2D ANSYS Fluent analyzes that I made for NACA 1609 over Cd and CmContinue reading “Aerodynamics 2021 Fall Term Project: Thin Airfoil Theory Application on NACA 1609 and Comparing With ANSYS Fluent CFD”

Why Does The White Smokes Come Out When Space Shuttles Are Launched?

If you’ve ever seen a rocket launch, perhaps a similar question came to your mind at that time: What is this cloud of white smoke that comes out as the rocket takes off, how and why does it form? First of all, it should be noted that during the firing of these gigantic space shuttlesContinue reading “Why Does The White Smokes Come Out When Space Shuttles Are Launched?”

Ventilation Holes for Supersonic Rockets

In this research report, we shared with you a detailed and exemplary research process that examines why rockets that exhibit supersonic flight need air vents, what these holes are for, where and how they should open. During a long research process of about 2 months, we wanted to present the report as clear and clearContinue reading “Ventilation Holes for Supersonic Rockets”

Multiple Fin Assembly Analysis Report

This analysis report is the first report I wrote as a member of the PARS Rocket Group. It is a detailed aerodynamic examination of why more fins are not used in standard rockets, rather than three or four. This report; going beyond the classical rocket designs, which have now become a standard inthe rocketry industry,Continue reading “Multiple Fin Assembly Analysis Report”
