Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Different Number Leading Edge Winglets on the Fan-Wing Aerodynamic Characteristics by Du Siliang, Zhao Qijun, Tang Zhengfei

“…Therefore, the method of installing leading edge winglets on the leading edge of a base Fan-wing airfoil was considered to change the opening angle of the leading edge of the Fan-wing. Through numerical simulation, the effects of single, double, and triple leading edge winglets on lift and thrust of the Fan-wing at different installation angles, inflow velocities, and angles of attack were compared and analyzed. …”
