Abstract
The objective of this paper is to enhance the aerodynamic performance of trainer aircraft wing using active flow control method of co flow jet (CFJ). In this numerical study, free stream velocity of 20 m/s and k epsilon turbulence model is used to compare baseline and CFJ aerofoils with different angles of attack (AOA). This work introduced CFJ method into the trainer aircraft wing to improve the aerodynamic performance by controlling the boundary layer over it at different AOA and at the same time to reduce the take-off landing distance. The obtained results show that the stalling AOA improved by 40% and lift coefficient increased by 52%. The same method could be used to all trainer aircrafts.
