Aerodynamic Performance of NACA 662-015 Airfoil with Gurney Flap by Balram Mandal,  Roshani Kumari Gupta, Abhinav Adhikari, Biranchi Narayana Das, Atal Bihari Harichandan

“…The GFs are remarkable aerodynamic elements that show how a small modification to an airfoil’s trailing edge can have a significant impact on performance, making them a valuable tool in the pursuit of enhanced efficiency and control in various applications with increased downforce and minimal drag penalty. The height of the flap was varied from 1% of the chord up to 3% of the chord of the airfoil, with 0.5% incremental steps. …”
